It is located in the foot of Trikut Hill at Kotsamalai of the [[Birmaharajpur]] subdivision of Subarnapur district, Odisha, [[India]].<ref>[http://kddf.wordpress.com/2010/11/07/patali-srikshetra-of-subarnapur-district/ Patali Srikshetra of Subarnapur district]</ref> It widely believed that the idol of Lord [[Jagannath]], [[Balabhadra]] and Devi [[Subhadra]] were kept hiding in the caves of the Trikut for a period of 144 years.<br />

== Raktavahu and Patali Srikhetra==<br />
The Madalapanji describe that during the invasion of Raktavahu, a king named Sovanadeva of Odisha escaped with the images of Lord [[Jagannath]], [[Balabhadra]] and Devi [[Subhadra]]. He then reached [[Sonepur, Odisha|Sonepur]] and buried the images at a place called Sonepur-Gopali. After 144 years, a king name Yayati Keshari of [[Somavaṃśī dynasty|Somavamsi]] dynasty got the images and made new images. He built a temple at [[Puri]] and enshrined the idols.<br />
<br />
==Archaeological evidence==<br />
Subsequently, [[Archaeological Survey of India]] team led by Dr. Dimiri and State Archaeology led by Dr B.K. Ratha paid a visit and testified the linkage of Patali Srikhetra with Srikhetra and also found archaeological properties of pre-historic importance.<br />
