The Ramachandi Temple is located on the banks of the Kusabhadra River where it flows into the Bay of Bengal. It is about 5 km from Konark in the Puri District of Odisha, India. Some believe that Goddess Ramachandi, the deity of Konark, is the presiding deity of this temple, while others believe it was dedicated to Mayadevi, the wife of Surya (the Sun God).
