This temple is a temple of Lord Jagannath. This temple is located in the village of Benhta, three kilometers from the headquarters of the Bhiatargaon Block of Kanpur district. It is said that the typical feature of this temple is that some drops of rain begin driping on its roof seven days before rain.

Although many times efforts have been made to know this secret, even after all the surveys, the archeological scientists could not find the exact timing of the temple’s construction and mystery. It is only possible to find that the last restoration of the temple was done in the 11th century.
