Sitabinji was visited at 4:00 pm. Puratanlipi manuscript available on rocks. Near Sitabinji another cave temple of Sita mata also availabe. These places are worth seeing.
Went to Kanjhari dam in the evening at 5:15 pm. Then came to Keonjhar which is 12 km from Kanjhari. Went to Bunu bhai's residence. Took dinner in hotel India .
Left Keonjhar at 6:40 am on 02.11.2017 for Murga Mahadev. But just before 8 km at Bileipada it was found that the road is very bad and rush by trucks. We changed our program and instead of going to Murga Mahadev went to Handi Bhanga water fall which was 34 km from that junction point of Bileipada.
Reached Handi Bhanga at 09:30 am. There are two water falls. We went to the first one. It is only 200 metres from parking place. We have not gone to 2nd one. It is on top of hill. We left Handi Bhanga at 11am.
Santi bhai and I did not feel well due to stomach problem. So we came to guest house and took rest. At 4:30 pm went to Sidha Matha 6 km from our telephone exchange and in the return path visited Baladevjiu temple. Sidha Matha is a very good place to visit.
Today 3rd Dec 2017 is the last day of our tour. We decided to go to Daragadasila which is 13 km from Kalimati Chhaka that is just beginning of Keonjhar district. We decided to do a picnic there. So we bought a earthen pot to cook meat and an aluminium pot for rice. We purchased everything (spices, meat, fish & utensils) from Keonjhar & started journey at 8:30 am. Reached Gadadarasila at 11 am. Baitarani river is so beautiful there. I was just mesmerised. Picnic was good. We took bath for half an hour. Water was crystal clear. Returned from Gadadarasila at 3:30 pm. Reached village at 9 PM.
