'''Maa Ghanteshwari temple''' is a temple located in Chiplima which is 30&nbsp;km from [[Sambalpur]] city via NH 6 in [[Odisha, India]] as of now. A bridge is constructed (called Chaurpur bridge) at Mundoghat a strategically important place between Sambalpur and Chiplima. As of December 2018, it is fully functional. It has halved the distance between Maa Ghanteswari Temple and Sambalpur. As the name suggests there are bells everywhere.<ref name="sambalpur.nic.in">[http://sambalpur.nic.in/turist_spots.htm Tourist Spots In Sambalpur District] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716023453/http://sambalpur.nic.in/turist_spots.htm |date=2011-07-16 }}. Sambalpur.nic.in. Retrieved on 2011-01-20.</ref> People offer bells to the goddess [[Ghanteswari]] or the Deity of Bells, after fulfillment of their wishes. Many [[pilgrims]] from across the state visit the temple. It is known as the 'lighthouse without light', built by the early sailors, for whom the bells served as warning against heavy winds. The special significance of this place lies in the great number of small bells hanging all around.<br />
