#Ranipur-Jharial, in Titilagarh sub-division of Balangir district is an important archaeological site. It is 104 km from Balangir and 35 km from Titilagarh. Known as 'Soma Tirtha' in scriptures, the twin villages of Ranipur-Jharial was a place which combined a cross section of religious faiths like Saivism, Buddhism, Vaisnivism and Tantrism. In ancient times these places were two very rich kingdoms. Queens were living at Ranipur and Jharial was a fort. Somavanshi keshari kings built many temples here and these temples can be dated back to the 9th/10th century AD. It is said that there were at least 200 temples covering an area of about half a mile in length and and a quarter of a mile in width. The largest stone temple is 'Someswar Siva', which stands on the banks of the river. It was constructed by a famous Saivik Acharya Gaj Siva whose inscription can be found on the lintel of the temple.
