Lakhmi Varaha Temple, Hindu temple in Kendrapara district, India.

The Lakhmi Varaha Temple stands near the Brahmani River, featuring traditional Kalinga architecture with ornate stone carvings and sculptural elements throughout its structure.

The temple originated in 1550 when the Aul royal family constructed it, followed by a renovation in the 20th century by King Sri Brajasundar Dev.

During Baraha Dwadashi festival in the Magh month, thousands of devotees gather to commemorate Vishnu's rescue of Mother Earth from demon Hiranyaksha.

The temple opens daily from 6 AM to 7 PM, with regular bus connections from Kendrapara, Cuttack, Bhadrak, and Bhubaneswar cities.

According to local records, the temple location was determined when divine footsteps ceased at this spot after the deity followed the king from Jajpur District.
