Ghanteswari or the Deity of Bells is a famous temple of western Orissa. It is situated near Chipilima Power Station. The tailrace water of Hirakud Hydraulic Power Station is made into a channel which flows quite a few kilometers and is made to encircle a small hill. An artificial masonry annular wall is made which creates the reservoir. A small hydro- plant is producing power for Orissa power grid. At the otherside of the hill is our Ghanteswari temple. A narrow passage of one kilometer made of steel structure which has deep channel on oneside and the gorge on otherside is really a thrilling place to walk. The above picture shows the pasage to the temple.The temple is very old and the devotee ties a bell for fulfillment of his/her wishes. With passage of time there are around few lakhs of various types of bells hanging from trees, walls, beams of the temple.
