It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Lingam here is unique which is a hari hara lingam - half Shiva and half Vishnu. The temple is about a thousand years old and dominates the skyline of Bhubaneshwar from as far as 15 Kms away and exhibits the skill of the Orissan temple architects. This temple is dedicated to Tribhubaneshwar or the Lord of Three Worlds.

 

Interestingly the Lingaraja Temple is said to have been built first by the ruler Yayati Kesari in the 7th century who shifted his capital from Jaipur to Bhubaneshwar. Bhubaneshwar remained as the Kesari capital, till Nripati Kesari founded Cuttack in the 10th century. Inscriptions from the period of the Kalinga King Anangabhima III from the 13th century are seen here. Lingaraja Temple is an architectural marvel.

 

The temple consists of a Natya Mandir (the Hall of Dance), Bhog Mandap (the Hall of Offering), Jagamohan (the Porch) and a 55 m high tower. There are more than 150 other shrines around the main temple. The Lingaraja temple is one of the most famous temples in Orissa and is also known as the Bhubaneswar temple. To the north of the Lingaraja temple is the Bindusagar Lake.

    I was stuck in the lockdown from March 16th, no trains were running from Sambalpur, although the state government of Odisha stated it has started intradistrict buses. I then was got the news that government of India has started 200 trains and one was running from Bhubaneswar through Secunderabad, now to reach there I took the services of Varun Travels Sambalpur, I spoke over the phone to Rahul, the owner of the travel, a well behaved guy who stated his price and shared the details of his vehicle with driver's on time, he followed up if I had spoken with the driver or not, called up the driver was amazed to hear a very professional voice talking to me, I asked him can we start the journey in the early hours to which he agreed, the driver was very respectful. Am really impressed and reccomend to use Varun Travels if ever you are in Sambalpur, Odisha for a complete and comfortable journey. ...more

    Few things command more respect than hard work, integrity,dedication and the ability to follow through. These are among the many attributes we experienced from start to finish when organizing our trip to Bhubaneswar with this travel agent.This travel agent is an excellent listener and pays attention to detail; a lost quality in today’s world. I am a big believer in managing expectations and I must say that thanks to this agent, her years of experience and wonderful demeanor and disposition. Selecting a travel agent and advisor can be frustrating and even dicey at times. Not in this case. We could not be more pleased with every component of our adventure and must give this agent, the tour company, the highest marks possible. Thank you!!! ...more
