Mukteswara Temple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mukteswara Temple is situated at Bhubaneswar in the Orissa state of India. It was constructed around the 10th century. Compared to the more well-known temples in Orissa, this is a small one with a height of only 35 feet. However, the sculptured gateway, diamond shaped latticed windows and decorated interiors and the large number of carvings have made it a unique monument. So much so that instead of its religious value, it is spoken of more due to to its architecture. Shiva is the presiding deity.
