Brahmapur’s presiding deity Maa Budhi Thakurani is not only famous across the State but in the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Many devotees throng the shrine every day for a darshan of the deity. So, the Government has planned to beautify the temple and provide all amenities for the devotees.
Stones will be spread on the wall and floor of the temple. The Yajna Kunda, temple office and boundary wall will be renovated. Besides, the entrance will be decorated as per the Kalingan design and a park and garden of the temple would be built.
Water would be made available for washing. Rooms for priests, kitchen and Bhog Mandap would be constructed. To make the temple more attractive, focus would be on its illumination. Temple road, parking, lavatory, landscaping and plantation works would also be undertaken.
