| King Krishna Manikya built the temple of Chaturdasha Devata to represent the fourteen head images of Gods and Goddesses called 'Chaturadasha Devta'.
The Chaturdasa Devata temple consists of a Nat Mandapa and Garbhagriha. The temple's roof is flat with two conical domes; the upper one stepped slightly behind the lower one. The top of the dome is crowned with Kalasa (pitcher) and a Pataka (flag).
During the ‘Kharchi Puja’, all the fourteen gods and goddesses are brought in the open for worship in public. Thousands of pilgrims and devotees from tribal and non-tribal communities visit this place during the festival. |
