Biranchinarayan Temple, Buguda, Hindu temple in Buguda, India

The Biranchinarayan Temple features 46 wooden pillars supporting an elaborate roof with detailed carvings depicting religious figures and scenes throughout its structure.

King Srikara Bhanjadeva initiated the construction of this temple in 1790, establishing it as the second major Surya temple in the Odisha region.

The temple holds weekly ceremonies each Sunday, with special celebrations during Ratha Saptami in Maagha and Samba Dashami in Pausha months.

Visitors can find lodging options in Berhampur city or at the government guest house located in Buguda near the temple grounds.

This west-facing temple allows the setting sun rays to illuminate the feet of the Surya deity, contrary to traditional east-facing temple orientations.
