| Madhava Temple, Cuttack, Orissa
| |
| The celebrated Madhava temple (13th century) is located on the eastern bank of the Prachi River, about 6 kms. from Niali (Cuttack District). The area amid Niali and Madhava appears to have been the principal centre of the Madhava (four-armed Vishnu) cult in Orissa, made famous in Sri Jayadeva`s Gita Govinda.
The temple is also sometimes referred to as "Durgamadhava" because of the presence of a small Durga image next to Madhava within the sanctum. This dual worship of Durga and Madhava is unique to Orissan Vaishnavism, and is yet another testament of the great Orissan process of synthesis. Madhava is a temple in active worship, and, in fact, draws a large number of pilgrims from all over Orissa.
