Chintamanisvara Siva Temple

Chintamanisvara Siva Temple is a Hindu temple in Bhubaneswar featuring intricate carved stonework throughout its structure. The interior houses a central Shiva lingam with an accompanying stone sculpture facing west.

The temple was built in the 14th century by the Kesharis dynasty following the Rekha deul architectural style. This construction method uses distinct layered tiers that define the building's form.

The temple serves as a gathering place for religious occasions and family celebrations in the community. People come here to mark important life events and observe festivals that connect them to their faith.

The temple is located at the end of Chintamaniswar Road near Old Station Bazar and remains open daily for visitors. The site is relatively easy to access and situated within a well-known area of the city.

The temple complex includes the Chintamaniswar Tank, a rectangular water body sustained by natural springs beneath the surface. These springs maintain consistent water levels throughout the year without requiring external management.
