Biraja or Viraja at Jajpur
Jajpur district identifies Biraja Temple, also called Viraja Kshetra, as a religious site in Odisha. The two spellings refer readers towards the same local tradition; a state-level reference to Odisha alone is too broad to locate it.
Jajpur's cultural landscape also includes other temples and Buddhist archaeological sites. Their proximity does not make them part of the Biraja temple or evidence for its Peetha association. Read each monument's history separately when planning a wider visit.
Names recorded in the tradition
- Goddess
- Mata Biraja / Girija
- Bhairava
- Shweta Varaha
- Sati association in this list
- Navel (Nabhi)
These are devotional associations, not archaeological findings. Lists and local identifications can differ.
