Kakatpur Mangala Temple, Hindu temple in Kakatpur, Odisha, India
The Kakatpur Mangala Temple stands on the eastern bank of river Prachi in Puri district, featuring traditional Kalinga architectural elements and stone carvings.
The temple construction dates back to 1548 when local Zamindar Panchanan Mitra Roychudamoni established the structure to honor Goddess Mangala.
The temple holds the Jhamu Yatra festival during the month of Vaisakh, where devotees walk barefoot over burning coals while carrying water from river Prachi.
Visitors can reach the temple by road from Bhubaneswar, Puri, and Cuttack, with the nearest railway stations located in Bhubaneswar and Puri.
Inside the temple, a solid stone bed shows signs of wear, which locals attribute to Goddess Mangala resting there after her daily tours of the universe.
