About Sakshigopal Temple

Sakshigopal Temple formally known as Satyabadi Gopinath temple is a medieval temple committed to Lord Gopinath located in the town of Sakhigopal on the PuriBhubaneshwar highway in Odisha, India. The temple is worked in the Kalinga style of temple engineering. 

The temple is renowned for praising the yearly Amla Navami Celebration (Amla = gooseberry; Navami = ninth day in a lunar cycle). The celebration is related with the act of touching Radha's feet (Radha was the unbelievable admirer of Ruler Krishna). Legend has it that the temple was initially without a statue of Radha. Be that as it may, when a young lady named Lakhmi guaranteed to be the incarnation of Radha, and it is trusted that Ruler Krishna (here as Gopal) ought not be without his intimate romance Radha, a statue from northern India was introduced here. The statue had initially Ghagra and Choli embellished however when it was clad on a customary saree of Odisha, the feet of the statue was unmistakable and the clerics took it for a blessed sign. From that day Amla Navami is commended and Hindu pioneers are permitted inside the temple to touch the goddess' feet. A huge number of aficionados throng the temple on this heavenly event.
