Comment: I am not exactly sure what this is even supposed to be referring to. I have gathered that it is a village in India, but that needs to be made apparent. TheBritinator (talk) 17:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Sialia is a village in India known for having no doors, a sign of the villagers' trust in their neighbours. iThe village is in the Rajkanika block of Kendrapara district in the Indian state of Odisha. 125 families living inside this village with bearing an area of 120 hectares also called as doorless village. [1]No house of this village has doors or windows. The people of this village have immense faith on their deity Maa Kharakhai and believes that the power of maa will protect them.[2]An anganwadi worker Gita Sahoo has said that "even the anganwadi centre has no lock where baby foods, rice, dal, medicines are stored".[3]May be it seems superstition but no thefts recorded at this village.
Surrounded by years old large banyan trees the temple is placed at the end of the village. The temple has no roof because it is believed that the deity loves sunlight that's why the name kharakhai is given because in odia sunlight means "khara".[4] Due to this special thing this village is able to attract tourists from different places. So to maintain this the district administration plans to invest some money to build parks, toilets, and parking.[5]
