There is a yearly festival - Khandagiri mela , in which there are hundreds of local shops which sit along the road in between Khandagiri-Udayagiri and creates traffic congestion and accidents. The approach from the NH 16 on the eastern side and the southern zone of the Khandagiri-Udayagiri area has densely populated residential area.
