Cuttack's historical sights reflect its long past as Odisha's capital. The Barabati Fort ruins, with their moat and earthen mound of a nine-storey palace, sit on the Mahanadi riverbank next to a modern stadium. The stone revetment protecting the river banks is an 11th-century engineering feat. The Temple of Cuttack Chandi, dedicated to the city's presiding deity, is visited by every Hindu pilgrim, while the Quadam-i-Rasool shrine is venerated by both Hindus and Muslims.
