1,200-yr-old Jagannath temple cries for revival
Orissa POST
|October 24, 2025
While the state government has been proactive for the protection, restoration and development of various religious sites, a 1,200-year-old Jagannath temple atop a hill in Balarampurgarh under Dharmasala block of Jajpur district has been left neglected.
Parts of the ancient temple’s boundary wall collapsed during last year’s monsoon, and much of its paint has peeled off. Despite repeated appeals from locals for its conservation, authorities have not taken any concrete steps, leaving residents distressed.
According to available records, Balarampurgarh was established in 553 AD by King Balaram Singh. Since then until 1952, as many as 45 kings ruled the region. Known for their generosity and people-friendly governance, the rulers ensured peace even after India’s independence. The royals of Balarampurgarh were known particularly for their devotion to worship Lord Vishnu and female deities.
