Did you know that there is a temple in Odisha built with black chlorite? Yes, you heard that right! The temple, made of chlorite, is architecturally brilliant, with its outer surface intricately carved. This temple is one of the most impressive examples of Kalinga architecture.
The temple is dedicated to Maa Kichakeswari, also known as Chamunda, and is located in Khiching, Odisha. According to legend, Devi Kichakeswari was worshipped by Kichaka, the commander-in-chief of the Matsya kingdom, ruled by King Virata, in the epic Mahabharata. Bhima killed Kichaka after he harassed Draupadi.
There is also an iron bar placed in the temple premises, which is believed to be a part of Bhima’s gada (mace). People believe that if you carry the metal and revolve around the monument, all your sins will be forgiven.
The original temple, built in the 7th or 8th century, was destroyed by Muslim invaders and lay in ruins for 400 years. It was rediscovered during excavations in 1922–1924 and restored between 1934 and 1941 by Maharaja Pratap Chandra Bhanj Deo, preserving its original sculptures and architecture.
