A small and beautiful temple at Bhubaneswar. As Bhubaneswar is the city of temples. This temple is very close to lingaraj temple.

I love to see places

It is an abandoned temple and the sactum is empty. it is neglected by the government. Since it is one of the tourist attractions it should be maintained by the government in every possible way. Nobody is concerned about the monument.The temple is crumbling on account of total negligence.Needs immediate attention for conservation.

If anyone wants to know about the sculpture of 7th century AD in Odisha India... It is a great option for you...
