A brief history

On top of a small hill at the end of the village is the Mundia Hanuman Temple. Mundia Hanuman is the main deity of this place, but other deities are also worshiped here.
There is no firm evidence as to when exactly the temple was built. According to history, the youths of this region once became soldiers of King Kandapada and fought against the British during the colonial rule of the country. I ordered to build a village called Rajpur. Brave men are called ‘Malda’ in Odia, hence the name of the village.
A small established land structure is sometimes colloquially called a ‘mundia’. This is probably the reason why this temple was called Mundia Hanuman Temple. About 70 temples can be seen at this place. The most important of these is the Hanuman Temple, dedicated to the monkey god.
