Odia Sahi Raja..
The Odiasahi Raja, King of Kabisurya Nagar, is undoubtedly the most famous Ganesh statue in Kabisurya Nagar,Ganjam,Odsha. The mandal was founded in 2000, and has grown to be the most visited one in the town.

If you want to see the lengths people are prepared to go to for devotion, the Odiasahi Raja is the idol to visit. It draws an average of 10 thousand people a day -- astonishing! People simply believe that this Ganesh idol can fulfill their wishes, and there's a lot of media attention on it.

There are two main lines to see the idol: a general line, and line for those wanting to make a vow or get a wish fulfilled (navas). The navas line takes devotees right to the idol's feet, whereas the general line offers viewing (darshan) from a distance of around 10 meters away. Until recently, it was common for the navas line to stretch snake-like for over five kilometers and the waiting time would be at least seven hours. However, in recent years, the organizer has started to manage devotees better. Although the line still stretches for two kilometers at times, it's more orderly and moves much faster. This is due to the grouping and release of a set amount of devotees at a time, and the use of multiple exits instead of only one.
