Sri Grameswar Mahadev Temple History:

Lord Shree Shree Grameswar Mahadev abode in the mesmerising temple built in the bank of the River Hansua in the East coast of Odisha. This holy place has its mention in the vedic purana, popularly known as Garga Pitha.

The history relating to the origin of Sri Grameswar Mahadev is very interesting and eventual. As mythology and folklore say the ruler of Bishunpur had constructed the temple basing on the account of a cowboy.

As per the legend, a cowboy notice a grazing cow stopped at a point in the field and oozed its milk out. This generated curiosity in the mind of the cowboy and he started observing the cow. He found that the cow was regularly stationed at a certain point and oozing out the milk. The cowboy reported this unusual incident to the king. The king in return ordered for excavation.

In the process of digging there appeared a “Linga” of Lord Mahadev. The King tried to fathom its root but in vain. The Linga appeared in the midst of the village (grama) for which the King named it “Grameswar Mahadev”.

After the emergence of the Siva Linga, the King constructed a permanent wooden and thatched house and engaged Brahmins from Kanyakubja for performing puja and observing the rituals of Lord Siva. Another story referring to Puran says “Gorga Rusi, the son of Lord Brahma installed this Linga to offer Puja. After the demise of Gorge Rusi the Linga was buried under the earth and the cow was oozing her milk at that place. On the basis of puranic reference, the place of Lord Siva at Panchapalli is also called ‘Gorga Pitha’ A small temple of Gorga Rusi located in the temple premises of Sri Grameswar Mahadev stands as a testimony to it.

After the death of the king of Bishunpur the Landlords of the regions took the responsibility of worshiping Lord Siva. Subsequently, the Endowment Commission taking the responsibility of the management of the temple formed a Trust. In the passage of time the old temple of the wooden and thatched cover was removed, the temple of 71 feet height has been constructed by Managing committee of Temple Trust with the active support of local people of the region and devotees.

The lingam was surfaced while the local king digs the areas where a cow was self milking every day. This place is situated mid of the port town of Paradip and district head quarters town of Jagatsinghpur.
