Purunagarh  Purunagada is the easternmost part of Jeypore, a major town of southern Orissa, India. Translated into English, Purunagada means Old Fort, which it was during the rule of the kings. The moat has now been made into a canal, which divides Purunagada from the rest of the town. Being placed at the foot hills, in the warm embrace of Nakti Dangar one can have a beautiful view of the entire town from Purunagada, particularly in the evenings. Purunagada boasts of its ancient, beautiful and serene temples, and can be called the Temple-street of Jeypore. Some of the temples at Purunagoda are: Neelakantheswara,Dakshyina kali ,Dangar Dei,Ganesh, Radha Krushna and Jagannath (inside the Neelakanteswar) Ayyappa, Ganga Maa, Bhairabi Bala Gopal and Saniswar  One of the unique features of Purunagada is the Rath Yatra which is held same of gundicha jatra of Puri in other hand the main ratha jatra of jeypore is held on the next day. People belonging to different caste, creed and religion have been living in Purunagada and most of them have been staying here for generations. Tribals Parajas form an integral part of this part of the town and were earlier known for their hunting skills, clean houses, robust physique, unique traditions and hard work. With exposure to the urban way of life, their dependence on the forests has been declining and has eroded their culture and heritage. "Paraja" is a tribe found in the southern part of Orissa and some other parts of the Dandakaranya region. Their appearance is different from the other tribes (without the aborigines features) and have a distinct appearance and lifestyle. Their skin colour can vary from fair (cream) to ebony black. Hair strands are normally straight. Eyes are sunken deeper but not as hollow as other tribes. The average height of the Parajas is around 1.6 m. Parajas have a very rigid societal structure and do not eat at even Brahmin households. With time, this has become a forgotten practice and many tribals now do not even know about such rituals. Dedicated to the local goddess said to be an incarnation of Maa Durga, this temple attracts people far and wide for the belief that wishes come true here.
