Sambalpur town is district headquarters of Sambalpur district in north­west Orissa. It was named after Samlai or Shyamleswari Devi founded by king Balaram Dev. Mahanadi, impregnated with gems,, flows beneath it. God Shiva exists in Bud­dharaja temple on not-too-high Buddharaja hill looking like a crown on city's top. A beautiful panoramic view of the town is available from hill-top. There are also Bara Jagannath, Brahmapura, Gopalji in the town. Sambalpur is famous as trade centre. Equally famous are Sambalpur's hand-woven clothes, tie & dye prints, wooden toys. These can be collected as mementos of west Orissa tour. Still Sambalpur is more famous in tourist map as a junction stn connecting Hirakud, Badrama Abhayaranya, Huma & Nrisinghanath. You can see it in 5 days Rourkela included. Sambalpur is not modern town. We find its reference in Ptolemy's writings (2nd century) named -Sambalaka on the bank of Manada (Mahanadi).
