Gandhradhi shrine in Boudh district awaits tourism tag Post News Network
One of the ancient temples is at Gandhradhi near Janhapanka.
Centuries ago, kings of Bhanja dynasty used to rule parts of Boudh district. They were followers of Shaivism and Vaishnavism. They had built famous Harihar temple at Jagati. The temple is known for its unique architectural style. The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has taken up its conservation and named this shrine as Gandharadhi peetha.
It was learnt that the central government has provided crores of rupees for its conservation, but it was alleged that no remarkable step has been taken for its development.
NEW DELHI: Scholars and tourists will soon have easy access to ‘authentic’ information about ancient sites and buildings including lesser-known monuments in different states, as the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) is set to launch a massive exercise to prepare a central repository containing all their details.
After methodical documentation, collection of information will be available on ASI’s websites, which can easily be seen by all users.
Union Culture Minister Prahlad Singh Patel, speaking during a function at Abdur Rahim Khan-e-Khana’s tomb recently, said that in January, the ASI would start a programme to record and put history related to all heritage sites and monuments on its websites.
