Ananta Sayan, Lord Vishnu at River Bank - Hindu temple in sarang, Sendhagram - Dhenkanal, India

nice place. This place must be kept clean. Bisnu structure does not even have a boundary. There is no board nearby so people do not know where the structure of God Vishnu is. Government should do development work here

The place is no doubt pretty beautiful and epic but shame on to the persons who are managing it the place is very badly maintained Every where you look you will find cow dung which is not acceptable for such a place

Must visit if you're studying in IGIT SARANG around 2 km away from college. Epic view. It is the largest such exposed rock cut structure in the horizontal position measuring 15.4 metres (51 ft) in length, in the whole of India I am adding some pictures to describe my experience here. All images are copyrighted and no one can publish without knowledge of the respective OWNER .

A very nice place to visit here on days of November specially on kartika purnima
