Naraj
Naraj, Cuttack
About this place
Naraj is a highly popular scenic spot located on the western outskirts of Cuttack. It marks the precise geological point where the Kathajodi River splits from the Mahanadi River. The site features an 11th-century stone embankment (revetment) built during the Somavamsi dynasty to control floodwaters. The rocky riverbed, views of the wide river delta, and the surrounding Siddheswar hills make it a major nature tourism and weekend picnic spot.
