A special presentation on Khandagiri Mela or Magh Saptami Mela
As you know, the #Khandagiri fair is held in January or February every year. Many saints from different parts of the country come here for the festival The festival is said to have originated in the holy waters of the "Secret Ganga"
The Khandagiri Mela, the #KhandagiriKumbhMela, is a colorful fair of this month, held in the month of Magh (January and February). The cultural fair showcases a variety of local handmade products for sale A large number of vendors from different regions come here to sell their products The most notable thing about the fair is that it is celebrated at night in the moonlight and people celebrate it with great enthusiasm.
This year, however, the Khandagiri fair is being celebrated without devotees An order issued by the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation states that the Kovid Security Protocol will allow the Magh Saptami Mela to be held inside the temple as per the usual rules without the participation of devotees. No temporary stalls have been set up for the sale of religious congregations, festivals, operas, various items under the BMC order. The decision was made in the interest of public safety
#Udayagiri (Kumarigiri or Suryodaya hills) and Khandagiri (Kumaragiri or Bhanga hills) are located face to face on the road about 8 km west of Bhubaneswar.

Which reflects the sculpture industry of the second century BC
The main attraction of these caves is the magnificent carvings adorned with stone statues. A flight of stairs and an ancient ramp slowly rising from the foot of the hill enter the cave.
