            Maa Ghanteswari Temple is one in every of the foremost holiest and exquisite place in Sambalpur. Because the name indicates, there are bells (Ghanti) everywhere. People offer bell to Maa after their fulfillment of their wishes. An outsizes number of pilgrims visit this place every day from across the state. This is often treated as Heart of Chipilima (a beautiful picnic spot). The specialty of this temple area is, thousands of bells hanging all around, the sole place of its kind in Orissa. Maa Ghanteswari Temple is found at 33 kms south-west of Sambalpur and on the bank of river Mahanadi. It absolutely was playing a very important role for navigation within the past. It had been called a light-weight house without light. The place got its name from goddess Maa Ghanteswari. Earlier there have been some big size bells on this spot and with the assistance of wind those were creating enormous sound which made the navigators alert to this treacherous spot and that they never came near it. This area being the conglomeration of three streams of water of river Mahanadi, the water current here is incredibly treacherous forming a whirlpool. Thanks to this many boats were drowned while nearing this spot. Here the wind blows quite heavily and with the assistance of it the bells were producing sound. Now after the development of Hirakud Dam, this spot became safer.
