Biraja Temple
The Biraja Temple, or ''Girija Kshetra'' (Oriya:ଓଡ୍ଡ୍ୟାଣ ପୀଠ), (Oriya:ବିରଜା ମନ୍ଦିର), is an historic Hindu temples located in Jajpur (about north of Bhubaneswar), Odisha, India. The present temple was built during the 13th century. The principal idol is Devi Durga, who is worshiped as Viraja (Girija), and the temple gave Jajpur the nicknames "Viraja Kshetra" and "Biraja Peetha". The Durga idol has two hands (''dwibhuja''), spearing the chest of Mahishasura with one hand and pulling his tail with the other. One of her feet is on a lion, and the other is on Mahishasura's chest. Mahishasura is depicted as a water buffalo. The idol's crown features Ganesha, a crescent moon and a lingam. The temple covers a large area, and has several shrines to Shiva and other deities. According to the ''Skanda Purana'' it cleanses pilgrims, and it is called the ''Viraja'' or the ''Biraja kshetra''. Jajpur is believed to have about one crore of Shiva lingams.
==In Tantra==
The ''Brahmayamala Tantra'' has a hymn, "Aadya Stotra", dedicated to Shakti. In the hymn, Vimala is the goddess of Puri and Viraja (Girija) is the goddess worshipped in the Utkala Kingdom, which became Odisha.
According to the ''Tantra Chudamani'', Sati's navel fell in the Utkala Kingdom, also known as "Viraja kshetra". Adi Shankara, in his ''Ashtadasha Shakti Peetha Stuti'' describes the goddess as Girija. In Tantra literature, the Oddiyana Peetha (Devnagari:ओड़्याण पीठ) is located in eastern India near the Vaitarani River (an Oddiyana is an ornament worn by a woman around her navel).
