Kichakeshwari Temple, Hindu temple in Khiching, Mayurbhanj district, India

The Kichakeshwari Temple rises 100 feet high, constructed from black chlorite stone and covering an area of 1,764 square feet in eastern India.

The original structure from the 7th century was rebuilt in 1934 by Maharaja Pratap Chandra Bhanj Deo, who invested 85,000 rupees while preserving ancient sculptures.

The temple houses a ten-armed representation of Chamunda-Kali, decorated with a skull garland and positioned as the central deity for worship.

The temple welcomes visitors from 5 AM to 10 PM daily, with a midday break between noon and 3 PM, accessible by bus services from Baripada.

The exterior walls display intricate carvings of divine figures, including nayakas, naga-nagin, Ganesha, and prominent pillars with detailed Nagin sculptures.
