Architectural description
Rasika Ray temple
Haripur holds a prominent place in history; for instance, references to Haripurgarh can be found in the works of Vaishnava poets. It is associated with Sri Chaitanya, who passed through this place on his way to Puri. Raja Baidyanath Bhanja, a devout Vaishnava, erected a magnificent brick temple inside the garh in honor of his tutelary god, Rasika Raya. Structurally, the Rasika Ray temple stands as one of the few temples in Odisha built in the Bengal temple architectural style.
