Situated at a distance of
19 kms from Digapahandi and 45 kms from Berhampur, near Ghodahada Dam. One
would aptly cherish for visiting a monument with rare and quaint features.
The shrine of Ujjaleswar has been developed from a cave temple, on a hillock
which is approachable by steps. A huge stone shadowing the deity forms the
back side of the temple, which has been also chiseled to steps for
facilitating a circumambulating around the shrine. Before reaching the
unctuous site, one would come across the pleasing surrounding of Ghodahada
Dam, which has submerged a fort named Vijayanagar and its temple. The
reservoir provides silence to a heard of elephants, crocodiles and pythons
and sub-soil water for Horticulture farm of tube rose. However rollicking
monkeys, deer park, a pond with lotus flowers, an age old Banyan tree
testing one’s unfeigned devotion and unfurled natural back drop verdant the
sanctity of Ujjeleswar. One can drive carefully a bike or a jeep up to the
temple. In case of bus ride, visitors may have to walk ¾ kms.
