Onakona is located on the banks of the Gangrel Dam reservoir, built on the Mahanadi River. In the 21st century, Tirath Raj Futan of Dhamtari commissioned the construction of a Shiva temple at Onakona, modeled after the Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple in Maharashtra.[2] The temple is surrounded by a hill on one side, and the reservoir on the other, with a waterfall pond nearby, making it a popular tourist spot.[3]
Onakona is located in the Gurur tehsil, and comes under the administration of the Karrajhar gram panchayat.[4] As of 2011, the village has a population of 182 people, including 95 males and 87 females, who live in 38 houses. The effective literacy rate, that is the literacy rate of population aged 7 years and above, is 72.53%.[1]
