Majhighariani Temple

Majhighariani Temple is a shrine to a goddess in the Rayagada township of Odisha. It was built by King Vishwanath Dev Gajapati of the Suryavansh dynasty of Nandapur - Jeypore kingdom. It is believed that he made Rayagada his capital and after the construction of the temple he went on to conquer a vast dominion and expanded his kingdom from parts of Bengal to Telangana in south.

History
According to the Odisha District Gazetteer, the 16th century Suryavanshi king Vishwanath Dev Gajapati moved his capital to Rayagada from Nandapur and built a fort on the Nagavali river, now in ruins, in which he built a temple of the Majhighariani goddess. The fort was later destroyed by the British, who used the stones to build a bridge. The current temple was built in the late 20th century. ==References==
