Demography
Legend speaks that during 12th century a Bhanja ruler had joined hands with a tribal leader KULA to be eradicating the foreign invasion. Seeing the danger from the tribe he stained the tribal leader KULA and on the same place, constructed a fort which was later known as Kulad / Kullargad. The original temple is at the top of the hill known as Upper Bagh Devi with 273 steps.[1] Upendra Bhanja spent his term in meditation at this place.
