'''Indralatha Temple''' is dedicated to [[Shiva]] and is situated in [[Bangomunda]] block near Ranipur-Jharial in [[Balangir district]]. It was supposed that [[Indra]] first worshipped lord [[Shiva]] here and erected a temple.

==Architecture==
This is an intact brick temple whose Jagamohana and other structures are destroyed. Only the [[vimana (tower)|vimana]] which is of '''Rekha deula''' order is existing. The innermost sanctum houses a recent installed [[Linga]], along with old images of [[Vishnu]], [[Kartikeya]] and Uma-Maheshwara. The old [[Shivalinga]] is displaced to outside by some attack, which proves the existing Shivalinga placed outside the temple (made of sandstone).

==Temple at present==
The temple is maintained by Archaeological Survey of India. Being a brick temple, the time built can be traced to the early 7th century. Images of [[Nrisimha]], [[Vishnu]] along with [[Ganesh]], [[Kartikeya]] clearly proves that it was a centre for [[Harihara]] worship. Every year [[Shivaratri]] and other festivals related to Shiva and [[Vishnu]] are organised. Daily worship is done by some local priest. Kantabanji is easily accessed by railway from [[Raipur]] and [[Balangir]].
