Orissa is said to be a land of magnificent and grand temples designed and built by the best of architects. The city of Baripada lends a large hand to the above attractions. The city is present in Mayurbhanj which is famous for its greenery and is a city with some of the most crucial wildlife parks in the country. These parks are worth a notice as it also houses some rare species. Baripada has ample greenery to soothe ones eyes and also has a number of temples. The place is also a shopping paradise for the residents as well as the tourists because of the variety that is on offer here. The temples hold a Rathyatra every year which is a festival of carts and bullock races which draws a lot of spectators. But at the end it is the temples that woo the tourists. The temples of Baripada stick to the Indo Aryan style of architecture, which is not to be missed at all. There is a rich treasure of flora and fauna here which acts as a welcome sight for tourists.

The Sabarmati Ashram was the dwelling of the great Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. It is situated close to Vadaj.
