Dungamal (Chhatragarh) is a census town in the Khordha district in the state of Odisha which is 7 km from Balugaon NAC. It is the location of an Indian Navy basic training center (INS CHILKA).

It was originally a fort belonging to Khurdagarh under Banpur King Banasura. To protect the kingdom, a big canal was built that linked Chilka Lake to Mountain Bhaleri. Near to Ava Hospital, there is a Big Jagannath Temple, Guru Dwara.
