Kuruma is a small village, about 8 kms from Konark and a site of Buddhist archaeological discoveries. Recent excavations have resulted in the discovery of antique images of the Buddha seated in Bhumisparsa Mudra along with the image of Heruka. Scholars opine that this was one of the sites containing Buddhist stupas described by Hiuen T'sang. These excavations also brought to light a 17 meters long brick wall with brick size 22 cm X 17 cm. This place can be approached by a road ride from Konark.
