Prachi valley is very famous for the worship of Dvadasa Sambhu, Dvadasa Madhava and Dvadasa Shakti. Narasinghpur is a relatively small village located at just 10kms from famous “Niali Madhava temple”, near Nayahat square, Puri. PC: Deepak Nayak
A beautiful statue of Lord Madhava is found inside a small temple in this village & considered as one of Dvadasa Madhavas. I visited this place, with Deepak Bhai & had a darshana of this magnificent shrine. Both of us never witnessed such beautiful image of Lord Vishnu. The image is about 6 ft in height & almost double the size that you see in “Niali Madhaba” temple. Sharing some of the images of the splendid temple.

Situated in such a serene place, this temple is a must for all heritage lovers.
This is very lesser known temple. I am also thankful to Deepak Bhai, who allowed me to use some of his pictures in the blog.
Thanks….

Excerpt from the Times of India article: MAGNIFICENT MYSTERY, by Sandeep Mishra | Jan 15, 2015, “It was between 1900 and 1903, on the order of then lieutenant governor of Bengal J A Baurdilon, that a major excavation was undertaken around the Jagamohan; its interior partitioned with a 15-ft wide stone wall and stuffed with sand.
