Maa Mahuri kalua is the deity of the then kingdom of Mahuri garh in Ganjam district. The temple is situated in the middle of a depression between small and big mountains in the eastern ghat mountain ranges. The main temple is situated atop the hill which is accessible by only trekking not less than a thousand stairs . There is a temple also at the foothills where all the puja and rituals are observed. The place is very scenic and beautiful. The roads approaching this temple is very beautiful surrounded by lush greenery all around. The district administration has recently taken up the task of beautification of the spot and a small hill side park is being erected in front of the temple which will definitely attract much tourists to this hidden temple of the district. There is ample opportunity for picnickers here as the place is hidden below thick forest cover so people can visit this place round the year. Earlier the place was becoming empty by the evening due to its placement away from population, but the recent development will change that and I think the evening view of the garden will be a major attraction for people of the district and far to visit this place.
