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

The temple features three stone deities: Gopinatha in black rock at the center, with Govinda and Madan Mohan statues on either side.

King Narsimha Dev I brought the temple deities from Chitrakoot in the 13th century and established two water bodies named Brajpokhri and Kutpokhri.

The name Khirachora stems from a legend where Lord Gopinatha secretly offered sweet rice pudding to the saint Madhavendra Puri.

The temple receives visitors throughout the year, with access from Balasore Railway Station and Biju Patnaik International Airport as transportation points.

Local tradition maintains that Lord Rama carved the Gopinatha idol during exile to show Sita the form of his next incarnation.
