Once known as a prominent diamond hub,
Sambalpur got its name from the heavenly goddess Maa Samaleswari, and
her shrine in Samalai Gudi is the one of the major attractions of the
city. Sambalpur is also known for its worldwide admired tie and dye Kat
art which is endearingly termed as Sambalpuri. Besides these the
thriving forests and valleys, exclusive waterfalls, exquisite hills and
panoramic views make this town an ultimate tourist destination in
Odisha. Also, you will experience the unique tribal culture and
traditions that attracts tourists from all around the country.
Let us check out few of the top loved places within Sambalpur to explore below:
Samaleswari Temple
As
already mentioned that the name of Sambalpur comes from Samaleswari,
the mighty goddess! The Samaleswari Temple reflects a charm that
attracts not only the local people but people from the neighboring
states, especially during the social functions. Also, if you are lucky
enough then you may catch a colorful procession of the goddess.
Hirakud Dam
The
longest earthen dam of the world, the Hirakud Dam stands on the
majestic Mahanadi River. Including the earthen dikes on both the sides
of the dam, the length of the dam is 25.8 kilometers. There are two
towers at the northern and southern ends of the dam i.e. the Gandhi
Minar and the Nehru Minar. The Gandhi Minar is a revolving minaret that
offers a panoramic view of the dam.
Chiplima
Chiplima
is known for a natural waterfall that has been harnessed for producing
electricity under the Hirakud Dam project. Also, you can enjoy the
picturesque sight of the Mahanadi River along with enjoying the local
culture there. There is a small path from Chiplima that leads you to Maa
Ghanteshwari Temple where people offer bells or ‘ghantas’ to the
goddess Ghanteshwari or the Goddess of Bells after their wishes get
fulfilled. Also, it is known as ‘the lighthouse without light’ which was
built by early sailors for whom the bells served as warning against
heavy winds!
Huma
Famous
for its leaning Lord Shiva temple, Huma is a village on the bank of
Mahanadi River. Also, the tilting of the temple is still a mystery
unsolved! Another thing that attracts tourist to this scenic village is
feeding the Kudo fish in the river. Also during Maha Shivaratri every
year during February or March a huge fair is held here.
Pradhanpat Falls
Located
at a distance of 100 kilometers from Sambalpur, the Pradhanpat Falls is
a picturesque waterfall that is surrounded by rarest scenic natural
sights making it one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Odisha.
