About the Temple
History
Welcome to Patali Sreekshetra, a sanctuary of divine grace and timeless heritage. Nestled in the serene Subarnapur district of Odisha, the revered deity of the Kali Yuga, Lord Jagannath, along with his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, has woven a divine play in the golden age within the forested caves of Kotsamalai, located in the Ulunda block. The place, Darukonagiri, nestled among the lush greenery of the Chhalia peak, is renowned.
During the invasion of Rakta Bahu, in the second reign of Shovana Deb, the Deities were transferred from the Gem Throne and initially worshipped Shreejius for 45 years in an open Mandap surrounded by forest in Gopali, which is located in the north-west direction of present-day Subarnapur, near the current Kotsamalai. Subsequently, for a long period of 99 years, the Shreejius were hidden in the Shree Jagannath cave, situated at the daru kona ( The corner where Darubrahmas were kept hidden. ) of the Chhalia peak within the Trikuta hills.
