There is a village 4 kms far from the Kanika Palace in the district of Kendrapa, Orissa. There is a Goddess worshiped in the village named Maa Kharakhi.
Its really a mystery that none of the villagers have doors for their homes in the whole village. Even at this age of crime and robbery all around the world, the villagers have no doors installed for their homes.
They believe that the Goddess herself guides the whole village.
It is really astonishing, that whenever any thief has tried to to steel anything from anybody's house at night, in the morning, the thief has been found along with all the stolen articles, near to the place where the Goddess is worshiped.
The Goddess even has not a temple. The holy Goddess is worshiped at a place in the middle of the village which is completely open open to sky without any wall or roof.
The Goddess has been decorated with lots of precious and valuable ornaments but no thief or robber has ever dared to touch those ornaments.
What can be a better example that this to prove the existence of GOD!
It is not a story, its a true fact. This is the place of Lord Baladevjew
