A temple in Titlagarh, Balangir district, Odisha, India has an interior area where the temperature remains near or below 0°C (32°F) even when the outside temperature is higher.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
TOTAL BS — Verdict: False
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
The evidence does not support a near-freezing or sub-zero temperature inside the temple. Credible descriptions consistently portray it as strikingly cool relative to the outside heat, typically around 10–20°C or below 10°C, while the 0°C or -5°C version comes from unverified social-video content. The real phenomenon appears to be strong passive cooling, not freezing conditions.
Caveats
The key numerical claim rests on low-reliability social media and travel-vlog content, not instrumented or independently verified measurements.
Reports of the temple feeling 'very cold' are being conflated with actual temperatures at or below 0°C.
A dramatic temperature difference from the outside heat is plausible; a passive temple interior remaining near or below freezing is not supported by the available evidence.
