Описание: Kapilash in dhenkanal district of odisha is a major shaiva khetra of india. It's known as Kailash of odisha for it's chandrasekhar mahadev temple and connection with shaivism.

The chandrasekhar mahadev temple was built in 13th century by king narasinghadev 1 but before that also kapilash was a place of worship and mediatation admist green and peaceful surroundings.

It's believed that great sage Kapil muni had an ashram here, in whose name the place is name as kapilash. There is also ashram of alekh swami and it's believed that mahima dharma flourished from kapilash. There current head quater Joranda is just about from kapilash.

Kapilash finds it's mention in ancient writings like Kapila samhita, shiva purana, kalidas's meghdut to name few.

In today's time also it's a great place of worship for lord shiva and devotees go via 1350 steps through forest route or 5 km ghat road to reach near the temple. The temple complex has multiple temples apart from the chandrasekhar mahadev temple e.g. narayana, biswanath, parbati temples

It's also unique at this place that lord jagannath's patitapabana is present at paswa debata of the main temple for this place is also known as hari hara pitha. Presence of bishnu and mahadev draws both baishanava as well as shaiva devotees.
The presence of maa parbati temple also represents the shakta dharma.

Another unique in the chandrasekhar mahadev temple is the wooden jagamahan and mandapas.

Kapilash zoo near the base of hill is another attraction for the visitors. Accommodation facilities are available at nirupama hotel kapilash, kapilash yatrinivas and in dhenkanal town.
