Kakatapur is 45 kms from Konark, located in the Prachi valley and is famous for its shrines of Goddess Mangala and Banadurga. The famous 'Jhamu Yatra' is held in April-May when devotees walk over a narrow trench strewn with embers. Legend has it that the directions for reaching the holy log, from which Lord Jagannath's icon is created, comes from her. Kakatapur is well connected by regular bus services from Puri, Bhubaneshwar and Cuttack.
