Varahi (Barahi) Deula Temple – Chaurasi

The wonderful 10th century Varahi Deula Temple is located in the village of Chaurasi (also spelt Chaurashi), just 30km north of the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. Built during the Somavamsi rule which saw a dramatic shift away from Buddhism to Brahmanism in the region, this east-facing temple built from sandstone is a fantastic example of mature Orissan sacred architecture.
