The Indralata Temple is under the supervision of the Archaeological Survey of India. It is a brick temple believed to have been constructed during the 10th-11th century AD, during the rule of the Somavamsi dynasty. The presence of images depicting Nrisimha, Vishnu with Ganesha, and Kartikeya indicates that it is a Harihara temple, serving as a centre of worship. Annual celebrations for Shivaratri and other festivals related to Shiva and Vishnu are held at the temple. The daily rituals and worship are conducted by a local priest. Kantabanji, which can be easily reached by rail from Raipur and Balangir, provides convenient access to the temple. If you are interested to buy India Stamp or Miniature Sheet then visit Philacy.com
