Kurumbera Fort

Kurumbera Fort stands in Gaganeshwar village, about four kilometres south-east of Keshiari. An Odia inscription dates its building to 1438–1469, in the reign of the Suryavamsa Gajapati king Kapilendra Deva, and a stone inscription records later additions made in Aurangzeb's time by one Mohammed Tahir. The Archaeological Survey of India protects it, though little has been documented about its past.

Despite the name, the site has none of the usual defences: no bastions, moat, watchtowers or fortified gate. Instead a large courtyard is enclosed by a pillared corridor, and a platform carries a structure with three domes beside a sacrificial altar. The style follows medieval Odisha with later Mughal elements. With the altar at the western end, its plan has been compared to a mosque, though no record confirms such use. Much of it is in ruins, and the ASI has strengthened the outer pillars to stop them collapsing.
