Barabati Fort (Oriya: ବାରବାଟି ଦୁର୍ଗ)is a 14th-century fort built by the Ganga dynasty near Cuttack, Odisha. The ruins of the fort remain with its moat, gate, and the earthen mound of the nine-storied palace, which evokes the memories of past days. Today it sits next to the modern Barabati Stadium, the venue of various sport events and cultural programs. There is also a temple dedicated to Katak Chandi, the presiding deity of the city, not far away from the fort. Now there is also plans to develop the old Gadakhai into a world class tourist destination with boating facilities and a world class park.
