Marjakud Island
| Marjakud Island is located in the Mahanadi River, right opposite Boudh in Central Odisha. It is home to a village of about 3,000 people and provides a glimpse of life on the riverside as opposed to that of urban settlements. It is ideal for nature lovers, bird watchers and photographers who want to spend some quiet time in a rural setting. There are a couple of religious sites on the island, the Maa Pitabali Temple and the Swapneswar Mahadev Temple, which is partially submerged in water during the monsoon season. Visitors can travel to the island by boat and there is also the option of visiting the Kularikud EcoTourism Park, located on the opposite bank of the river, to enjoy the natural beauty of the Boudh region. |
