Patali Srikhetra - Hindu temple in Baghapali - Sonepur, India

Amazing place for peace loving people. Hiking. STORY- The Madalapanji (chronicle of the Jagannath Temple) describes that during the invasion of Raktavahu, a king named Sovanadeva of Odisha escaped with the images of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra. He then reached Subarnapur and buried the images at a place called Subarnapur-Gopali. After 144 years, a king name Yayati Keshari of Somavamsi dynasty got the images and made new images. He built a temple at Puri and enshrined the idols.
