About
Alamchandi Temple is one of the Shakta shrines of Puri and is located in the Kumbharapara area near Atharanala Bridge of the Puri. Skanda Purana has made a reference to Goddess Alamchandi residing in the northern side of the Jagannath Temple, Puri to protect the Ratnavedi. Devi Alamchandi is generally considered as one of the Asthashaktis who protect the Antarvedi on the Nairuta (southwest) corner of Srikshetra. From an architectural point of view, this temple is not so significant but from the religious aspect it is one of the important Chandi shrines of Shreekhetra.
