Mausi Maa Temple, Hindu temple on Grand Road, Puri district, India.
The Mausi Maa Temple stands in the center of Bada Danda, featuring traditional Odisha architectural elements with stone walls and carved decorations.
The temple appears in the Vaisanava Kanda of the Skanda Purana, which records how Goddess Ardhashosini consumed half of the flood waters threatening Puri.
The temple functions as a dedicated sanctuary to Goddess Ardhashini, who serves as a guardian deity alongside Kapalamochana Shiva for the Shree Kshetra area.
During the Ratha Yatra festival, the chariot of Shri Jagannath stops at this temple where devotees present Poda Pitha, a rice and lentil cake.
According to regional mythology, the temple marks where Subhadra Devi resided with her maternal aunt while Jagannath and Balabhadra went begging.
