Khirachora Gopinatha Temple, Hindu temple in Remuna, Balasore District, India.

Khirachora Gopinatha Temple is a Hindu temple in Remuna housing three stone deity statues of different materials. At the center stands Gopinatha carved from black rock, with Govinda and Madan Mohan positioned on either side.

A 13th-century king brought the deity statues from Chitrakoot and ordered the creation of two water bodies around the temple. These ponds remain important features of the site today.

The name Khirachora comes from a story about Lord Gopinatha offering sweet rice pudding to a saint in secret. Locals still share this tale with visitors, giving the place its spiritual character.

The site welcomes visitors year-round and connects to major transport hubs in the area. Wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for local weather conditions during your visit.

Local tradition holds that Lord Rama carved the central statue during his exile to reveal a spiritual truth to his wife. This belief connects the temple to ancient epic stories and draws many pilgrims to the site.
