About Kuruma

Kuruma is 7.5 kilometers from the world famous Sun temple at Konark. Excavations here have brought to light the reminiscence of some ancient antiquities like the image of Buddha seated in Bhumisparsa Mudra along with the image of Heruka and a 17 metres long brick wall (brick size 22 cm x 17 cm). Scholars are of opinion that this was one of the sites containing Buddhist stupas described by Hiuen T'Sang. Parswa Devata (God) in the Oriya language is "Jamantaka" & "Abalotikeswar" & "Baman" is called Three Devata (Three Bikdam). This place was surveyed by the Archeological Department in 1971 and there is a big pond known as Jamadharma Pond (the local language is Pokhari). The village of Kuruma has been inhabited by the Bhuyan family for a long time.
