[1][2] It is located in Huma, a village situated on the bank of the Mahanadi, 23 km south of Sambalpur in the Indian state of Odisha.According to historical records, Ganga Vamsi Emperor Anangabhima Deva-III built this temple.There may perhaps have been interior displacement of the rocky bed on which it stands, either due to flood currents in the river Mahanadi, or earthquakes.The worship of Shiva is said to have been initiated by a milkman, who crossed the Mahanadi daily to a place on the bank where the underlying rock cropped out.[5] An annual fair takes place at the foothill of the temple in March every year on Shivratri.
