-The temple of [[Durga]] is located near Krushnaprasad village in an area called Nua Satanga and Motia in [[Cuttack district]], [[Odisha, India]]. The temple is dedicated to [[Mahishamardini]] and [[Chamunda]].
 The central icon which is worshipped is a four-handed goddess slaying [[Mahishasura]]. In her upper two hands she holds [[Shankha]] and [[Chakra]], while the lower hands have a [[trident]] and a hand on the buffalo-headed demon. Several sculptures were discovered by the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] here which demonstrated that the shrine belongs to the era of [[Somavaṃśī dynasty|Somavamsi]] rule during the 10th century. An image of [[Surya]] is worshipped here.
