Why to visit Baitala Deula

The temple's most significant aspect is its tower, which blends a semi cylindrical shape with chaitya openings, each carved into magnificent shrines, and is reminiscent of South Indian architecture. Goddess Chamundi can be seen towering atop a cadaver, stabbing his neck with an archer, a blade, a snake, and a spear, while holding an arrow, a blade, a snake, and a scimitar. Her brilliant red tongue extends in ferociousness, and she is wearing a choker of skulls.

Tini Mundiya Mandira, or the three-headed temple, is another name for Baitala Deula Temple. The three huge towers at the summit of the temple complex inspired the name. These are representations of the three mighty Goddess's powers, notably Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati, and Mahashakti.

The Baitala Deula temple is near to some of Bhubaneshwar's most important tourist attractions. It is an old tantric temple dedicated to the tantric worship, and it is considered one of the finest of its sort in India. Goddess Chamundi, a tantric version of Goddess Durga, is the goddess worshipped in the temple. This temple was constructed in the traditional Khakhra style, which is based on the Kalinga school of architecture.
