Chausath Yogini Temple, Hirapur, Hindu temple in Hirapur, India
The circular stone temple measures 25 feet in diameter and contains 56 preserved statues of yogini goddesses carved from dark chlorite rock along its walls.
Queen Hiradevi of the Bhouma dynasty commissioned the construction of this temple around 864 CE, marking it as the first Chausath Yogini Temple in India.
The temple honors 64 yogini deities and features a central statue of Goddess Kali standing on a human head, representing the triumph of emotions over intellect.
Located 20 kilometers from Bhubaneswar, the temple remains under protection of the Archaeological Survey of India since its rediscovery in 1953 by Kedarnath Mohapatra.
The temple design incorporates hypaethral architecture without a roof, supporting tantric rituals that focus on worshiping the five elements of nature.
