The holy of our god
One of the most divine places of cuttack city......a symbol of hope and belief on the Supreme Power which imbibes a feeling of religious sanctity amongst the people mind and soul.....the things that needs to be taken care of is beware of pickpockets since it becomes overcrowded and sanitation is a real issue.... Remember.....MAA will always bless us every moment.....plz give foods or Prasad to those beggars instead of coins and notes....that will be real service....
When I visited 2 weeks back the temple was closed. However you could offer flower and Prasad to the goddess through a window located on the left side of the temple. The temple is located on the roadside and there is a possibility that you could cross the temple without noticing. As the sign board is given 100mts ahead of the temple. Barabati stadium is very close to the temple. Also High court is few KMs away.
Divine intervention....much needed peace & aspiration.

Cuttack chandi temple is one of the oldest temple in Cuttack. Dont buy anything from inside the temple they charge a lot. For example a 10 rupee flower is sold for 90 rupees.
Famous template of the oldest city Cuttack, of state Odisha in India 🙏
Peaceful place. Separate gents and ladies queues are formed inside the temple. Apart from Cuttack chandi many other deities are also placed here. Use of Cell phones is not allowed inside the temple. The temple has also got CCTV surveillance. Must visit place in Cuttack.
One of the best temple to feel the blessings & divine presence. As if mother is ready to give you solution to your problem. Here sweets are tasty special that small deep brown Gulabjamun.Though every one dont like sweets but here you must have it.Most of the day very crowed specially on Thursday.Divine look is very beautiful & soothing mantras ,Aarati etc.Yes surrounded with lots of physically fit peoples as Beggar. So be careful of cheaters.
She used to reply instantly if called Dil se

Cuttack Chandi Mandir is best known for its beautiful decorations and lighting. Those who pass by stop for the the blessings of Maa Chandi. The devotees never charge any fee for pujas. The place is very crowded on special days.
Its very refreshing. One star less so that it can be better, cleanliness wise.
Wonderful tempel the Idol of the goddess is just so powerful one look of it makes u conscious. Very nice experience
A must visit temple at Cuttack. It is one of the shakti pitha in Odisha. The area outside the temple is not maintained properly. There is no dedicated parking place. However, one can find parking on the roadside. The local administration should take some effort to facelift the location. The temple is very nicely maintained inside. One can feel the divinity. No harassment by any panda (priests). There is a pay and keep shoe stand just outside the temple. There is a tiffin shop close to the temple where one can find tiffin items without onion and garlic. There are also authentic Odisha sweets available at this shop at a very reasonable price.
The temple is very nice, the goddess here is beautiful with flower garlands and jewellery. The temple is too small and not properly maintained although many people visit here. Offers prasad sevan everyday.
Its Omni place. So pure so sacred. If you visit cuttack you must visit Maa cuttack Chandi Temple.
