Varahi Deula, Sacred Hindu temple in Chaurasi, India

The sandstone structure of Varahi Deula extends 15.84 meters in length, featuring intricate carvings and decorative motifs that adorn both the Vimana and Jagamohana sections.

Constructed during the Somavamsi dynasty in the early 10th century, this east-facing temple represents the architectural achievements of the Kalinga Kingdom period.

The central deity Varahi, depicted with a fish in her right hand and a bowl in her left, receives daily offerings of fish according to local traditions.

The temple stands 14 kilometers from Kakatpur village and 30 kilometers from Konark, with established road connections making it accessible for visitors throughout the year.

The temple structure follows the Khakhara style with a rectangular cross-section and elongated vaulted roof, differentiating it from traditional Rekha and Bhadra designs.
