01 — The story

Maa Barunei Temple is a Hindu temple on Barunei Hill in Khordha district, Odisha. It is dedicated to the goddess Barunei, worshipped as a manifestation of Shakti, and in the sanctum she is joined by her twin, the goddess Karunei, so that the two are venerated side by side.

A stream known as the Swarna Ganga flows down from the hills close to the temple.
