Fategarh Ram Mandir History

According to local people, this Fatehgarh Ram Mandir has a historical legend. Before the construction of the temple, there was a Bhagabata Pitha on this hill. The people of this village were worshiping Lord Govardhan for rain. In 1912, during Lord Jagannath’s Nabakalabara, a neem tree was collected from this forest for Lord Sudarshan. Chakradhar Pradhan of Fategarh village started building the temple on the hill, and then the villagers cooperated with him. The villagers of Fategarh formed a committee to commemorate this place and began to work on the temple soon after. Fatehgarh Ram Mandir is one of the famous temples in Nayagarh district. Parking spaces have been constructed at the top and bottom of the hill for tourists. To reach the temple from the bottom of the mountain, you can drive or walk up about 1 km
