Siddha Bhairavi, Hindu temple in Mantridi, Ganjam district, India.
Siddha Bhairavi is a Hindu temple with a central shrine displaying a Bhairavi statue carved with one leg and four hands in a simple style. The interior is surrounded by multiple smaller shrines arranged throughout the complex.
The temple began in 1937 when farmers discovered the deity statue while plowing their field in the Ganjam region. This discovery marked the start of worship at this location.
The temple complex reflects an ancient worship tradition where 108 smaller shrines represent different deities and show the spiritual diversity of Hinduism. This arrangement allows visitors to encounter multiple divine forms in one location.
The temple sits on National Highway 16, about 18 kilometers from Berhampur and is easily accessible via Berhampur Railway Station. The location offers convenient arrival and departure options for visitors.
Local tradition holds that the Bhairavi deity will work together with Kalki in the final phase of time to restore divine order. This belief gives the temple a special cosmic significance in regional spirituality.
