#TempleTrails... #Odisha
This 13th Century temple, famously known as Maa #Gangeswari temple situates in the Bayalish bati village of Puri district. Goddess Gangeswari is believed to be the Ishtadebi of Gangas of Odisha..
Bayalishbati(lit. 42acres) is also the village of Sibei Samantaray, the chief architect of Konarka temple. Different sources mention that during construction of Konarka groups of Masons were engaged at different places to receive the stones transported through rivers or rivulets,
to chisel them into sized ones & also to carve out designs on them as per the instructions of the chief architect. Bayalish-bati was one such place where Masons camped for the said purpose. Some believe that this temple is a prototype of Konarka but a closer inspection reveals,
After debunked by @KalingaArya regarding the false claims about mansingh or Kesho Das Maru incident, this handle perhaps needs moral victory that's why still blabbering absurd..Get your facts corrected first 1. Read Akbarnama regarding mansingh episode.hw fazl didn't exaggerated!
2. Read Baharistan I Ghayabi regarding Keso Das Maru incident..The rajput attacked Jagannath temple and forced the khurda king Purusottam deb to agree with a humiliating treaty.
3. Read Kulke regarding the same Keso Das Maru incident.. Corroborative facts can't be denied outrightly.

He repaired the existing dilapidated temple meant for Nrusimha & Bimala.

କୋଣାର୍କ ପାଖ ବେଲେଶ୍ୱର ଠାରେ ରହୁଥିବା ଋଷି ସୁମନ୍ୟୁଙ୍କର ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରଭାଗା ନାମ୍ନୀ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ସୁନ୍ଦରୀ କନ୍ୟାରତ୍ନଟିଏ ଥିଲେ। ଦିନେ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରଭାଗା+
The sage sumanyu has a beautiful daughter named Chandrabhaga. Both were living at Beleswara near konarak. One day while chandrabhaga,
ବେଳାଭୂମିରେ କନ୍ଦୁକ ଖେଳୁଥିବା ସମୟରେ, ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଦେବତା ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖି ମୋହିତ ହୋଇଗଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କୁ ନିଜର କରିବାକୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତାବ ଦେଲେ।
was playing with a ball on the beach, the Sun God saw him and was enamoured by her beauty. Being enamoured the Sun God offered Chandrabhaga to come with him.
କିନ୍ତୁ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରଭାଗା ଏହିପ୍ରସ୍ତାବରେ ରାଜି ହେଲେନାହିଁ ତେଣୁ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ତାଙ୍କୁ ବଳପୂର୍ବକ ନିଜର କରିବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟାକଲେ।ଅନନ୍ୟୋପାୟ ହୋଇ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରଭାଗା ସମୁଦ୍ରକୁ ଡେଇଁ ଜୀବନଦେଇଦେଲେ।
