The Kshira Chora Gopinath Temple is located in Remuna. It is a small town located nine km east of Balasore (Baleshwar), about halfway between Calcutta and Puri. The name "Remuna" is derived from the word "Ramaniya" which means very beautiful.

It is said that Sri Rama carved Gopinath with His arrow and that Sita worshiped this Deity in Citrakut. This Deity was brought to Remuna in the 13th century from Citrakut by King Langula Narasingha Dev, the king of Orissa. This king also arranged to have dug the two big tanks, Brajapokhari and Kutapokhari.
