This dhama is so dear to the Lord that He has given it His own name, Purushottamakshetra. This kshetra is extended up to ten yojanas, or 120 kilometers in diameter. It manifested from the ocean, and is covered by sand. In the middle of this sandy beach there is a blue mountain.

Lord Vishnu said to Brahma, "There is a place situated on the northern side of the ocean and the southern side of the river Mahanadi. It is a very secret place, unknown t people in general. There I live in My special form as Purushottama.

"O Brahmaji, you should go there and meditate in front of me. All the glories of Purushottama-kshetra will manifest to you automatically. That place is hidden to all the Vedic literatures. By My illusory energy, no one know about this place, but now, by my mercy, it will become manifest to all. If one takes even one breath there, he will receive the results of one asvamedha-yajna."
