Keonjhar

Keonjhar is the gateway to one of the most scenic destinations in India. Worth seeing here are the Vishnu and Jagannath temples, as are the Siddhakali and Panchabati shrines. Sanghagara waterfall (30.5 mtrs.) and Badghagara waterfall (61 mtrs.) are close to this town. The exciting environment of Badghagara have made it a popular picnic spot of the state. The rich mineral deposits have been a blessing to Keonjhar in many ways.

Natural landscapes and exuberant waterfalls cascading down forest clad hillsides; make up just a few of the district's wondrous attractions. Terraced valleys and forested land provide shelter to the tribal folk who give the visitors a glimpse of Orissa's rich past in their simple lifestyles and exotic festivities.
