pilgrimage, interesting place
An interesting place between Banki and Dompora. Best known for Jhamu Yatra at the Potolei temple on Chaitra Purnima (Hindu Lunar Calender, around April). Some devotees of Potolei walk on red-hot coal trenches of 180 feet (a bit less than 60 meters). According to some researchers, this place was a hotbed of Buddhist tantric cult during the hey-days of Buddhism in Orissa.
