Brahmeswara Temple, Hindu temple in Bhubaneswar, India.

The Brahmeswara Temple exhibits detailed stone carvings across its walls, featuring musicians, dancers, and deities within its 19-meter high structure.

The temple incorporates four dance halls and subsidiary shrines at each corner, reflecting the integration of performing arts with religious practices.
