Khirachora Gopinath

Temples, heritage and monuments

Remuna draws attention for its Khirachora Gopinath temple. For centuries, it has played a key role as a seat of Vaishnavite culture. Madhabendra of Puri, the teacher of Shri Chaitanya, and Shri Chaitanya himself visited Remuna and offered their worship to Khirachora Gopinath. Champak and Kadamba trees in the temple courtyard fill the air with a sweet, scented fragrance throughout the day. Devotees dedicated the temple to Lord Khirachora Gopinath (Krishna, who steals the milk).

Every day, hundreds of devotees gather for the Lord’s darshan. The temple offers Khira (a special milk preparation), which is its most delicious offering. Remuna reflects the essence of Vrindaban in the heart of Odisha.
