Ranipur Jharial - History details
Ranipur Jharial, known as Soma Tirtha, is renowned for its ninth‑century hypaethral 64 Yogini Temple, circular in plan and open to the sky. The site blends Shakta, Shaiva, Vaishnava and Buddhist influences, featuring over fifty shrines including the towering Indralath brick temple. Its sculptures, tantric associations and archaeological significance make it a rare heritage landscape reflecting Odisha’s ancient religious syncretism.
