The sacred grove of Kanta Baunsuni in Sindhipar village near Damanjodi, Koraput.
This ancient bamboo forest, untouched for centuries, is revered as the shrine of goddess Kanta Baunsuni. The grove thrives under tribal protection, with devotees flocking from nearby villages. During Dussehra, rituals include tying a red cloth at the main plant and offering Ghantis (metallic bells) and animal sacrifices. Legend says a patakhanda (sword) guards the grove, deterring any harm.
