History and Significance
History
- Founded
- 700 AD
- Founder
- King Koda deba
- Dewri Mandir in Tamar is an ancient stone temple constructed around 700 AD by local tribal king Koda deba. Built without mortar using interlocking stone blocks, the temple preserves ancient tribal-classical syncretism. Rituals are performed jointly by tribal Pahahan priests and Brahmin priests.
Significance
- Dewri Mandir enshrines a rare 16-armed stone idol of Goddess Durga (Solabhuji Durga). Uniquely, traditional rituals are officiated six days a week by tribal priests ('Pahans') and on one day by Brahmin priests, symbolizing indigenous cultural harmony. The temple gained national prominence due to regular visits by cricket icon M.S. Dhoni.
