In April, my family and I travelled to Bhima Bhoi Peetha, a temple in a village named Khaliapali, nearly 30 KM from Sonepur. Bhima Bhoi was a poet, saint, philosopher, and preacher of Mahima Dharma. Mahima Dharma opposes idol worship and hence, worships void or shunya as a divine principle. Hence, the temple contains no idols. Mortal remains of the poet are interred in the shrine, and a number of his written works are also available in the museum. Many practitioners of Mahima Dharma can be seen staying inside the temple premise. The temple has a very calm and tranquil environment. Overall, It was a wonderful visit to the temple.
