Mahendra mountain

It is a high peak in the eastern side of the Ganjam district of Utkal Pradesh (Orissa).
This mountain is known for the existence of 4 big historical temples on it. The Chola
king Rajendra established here a Victory-Pillar in the 11th century. People believe that
one out of the 7 persons with long lives, Parasu Rama has his abode on this mountain.
Two rivulets, known as ‘ the sons of Mahendra ‘ (Mahendratanaya) flow from this
