History of Maa Bhadrakali
As per ancient lore, Goddess Bhadrakali was first venerated within a secluded cave nestled in the Meghasana hills of Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district, where the revered sage Tapasa Rushi offered his devotions. Following his passing, his devoted disciple Bhadranatha transported the sacred idol to Bhunyamahalla in Bhadrak. During a time of upheaval, when the temple faced threats from the iconoclast Kalapahad, the Dikshit Brahmin community took it upon themselves to safeguard the deity by relocating her to the present site. Today, the Maa Bhadrakali Temple stands not only as a revered place of worship but also as a symbol of Odisha’s deep-rooted spiritual legacy and cultural richness.
