The priests of the temple and the people of the nearby villages believe that this inclination has not changed in the last 40-50 years. There can be displacement of the rocky bed on which it stands, either due to flood currents in the river Mahanadi, or earthquakes. due to which the temple became inclined like this But what the actual reason is still unknown A path leads right behind the temple to the banks of Mahandi From where a very beautiful view of Mahanadi can be seen.
