According to local people, this Fatehgarh Ram Mandir has a historical legend. Before the construction of the temple, there was Bhagavata Pitha on this hill. The people of this village have been worshipping Lord Govardhan for rain. In 1912, during Lord Jagannath’s Nabakalabar Neem tree was collected from this forest for Lord Sudarshan. Chakradhar Pradhan of Fatehgarh village started building the temple on the hill, and then the villagers cooperated with him. The villagers of Fatehgarh formed a committee to commemorate this place and started to work on the temple soon after. A children’s park and a parking lot have been constructed on the hill for tourists and devotees. Fatehgarh Ram Mandir is one of the famous temples in Nayagarh district.
