The Chronicles of the Majestic Tara Tarini Temple

The Tara Tarini temple today has been transformed into a religious monument that has its roots deep inside the ancient history and culture of Ganjam and Odisha. The magnificent new temple boasts of architecture that gives it a sense of holiness and is strongly connected with the traditions. Destined for the eternity, the temple has become a modern day masterpiece only because of the tireless efforts by the Odisha Government,  the people of Ganjam, administration and TTDB.  The quaint landscape adoring the Kumari hills/ #Purnagiri on the banks of river Rushikulya is a breathtaking experience for the devotees of Goddess Taratarini. Newsroomodisha.com brings for its readers some mesmerizing images of the Taratarini temple that speak for themselves. Link: https://newsroomodisha.com/depicted-in-pictures-the-chronicles-of-the-majestic-taratarini-temple/
