A ropeway up to the gods

Tara Tarini hill shrine in Ganjam district is prepares a simpler way to the top
The first ropeway to a hilltop in Orissa is operational at Tara Tarini hill shrine in Ganjam district.
It is part of the efforts of the Tara Tarini Development Board (TTDB) to turn this famous hill shrine of south Orissa into a major tourist destination of India.
The carriages of this ropeway would carry devotees from the ground to the 282-metre high hilltop. It would provide a recreational journey to the devotees to the hill shrine who otherwise had to climb 999 steps to the hilltop.
