'''Ganeswarpur''' is an [[India]]n village. The village falls under the Gop block of [[Puri District]]. It was founded before 1500 AD by Puri Gajapati [[Prataprudra Deva]].

==Name==
It is believed that, the village was settled after the famous [[Kanchi]] Vijay of [[Puri]] Gajapati Maharaja Sri [[Purushottama Deva]]. The village took his minister's name, Ganeswara Deva, in honor of him.

==Location==
Ganeswarpur is a well known village of the famous [[Puri]] district of [[Odisha]]. It is situated between 19° 97' North Latitude 86° 01' Longitude and at an altitude of 5 fits above [[sea level]].

From the beginning, Lord Jagannath is being worshiped as Lord Gopaljeu in the village. It is heard for Lord Gopaljiu, these [[Brahmins]] were brought for different purposes. From some old sources it is believed that a long before the village was stretched from North to south. But due to frequent change in direction of river khusbhadra the village changed to its present form. This can be verified by 2 ponds.
