Prachi Valley is said to be Odisha’s best kept secrets & is known for its magnificent monuments built alongside the river banks. The region covers around 54kms river stretch starting from Dakamba (near Naraj Barrage) in Cuttack & ending up at Keutajanga after joining the Kadua river, 3 km upstream from the Debi estuary in Puri. Prachi Valley, rather the Saraswati of the East, flourished between 7th & 16th century AD. Prachi valley has witnessed the co-existence of various religious ideologies like Jainism, Buddhism, Shaivism, Shaktism & Vaishnavism. The valley had Dwadasa Madhaba, Dwadasa Sambhu & Dwadasa Shakti temples at one point of time, but most have been lost in time. Among the major heritage sites in the valley, we shall touch at least five major monuments en-route.
