    KhordhaIndiaAncient / Traditional folklore

    The Mangalajodi Tree is a legendary haunted natural landmark in the village of Mangalajodi, near Chilika Lake in Odisha's Khordha district. Deeply feared in regional folklore, the tree is believed to be possessed by a vengeful female spirit (Kichhini or Chandi) that demands human sacrifices. Village tradition holds that the spirit claims 21 lives prior to the annual Dussehra festival, prompting strict curfews and rituals across generations.
