Biraja Temple, in Jajpur, is dedicated to the goddess Biraja and is regarded as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas of Indian tradition, sites believed to mark where parts of the goddess Sati fell. This gives it a pilgrimage significance beyond its role as a regional temple.
The temple sits on the site of ancient Viraja-kshetra, historically associated with Jajpur's role as an early capital and religious centre of Kalinga, making the visit as much about historical layering as active worship.
Jajpur was an early political and religious centre of ancient Kalinga, and Biraja Temple's continued significance as a Shakti Peetha has sustained pilgrimage traffic here for centuries, separate from the more visited Puri–Bhubaneswar–Konark circuit.
