Lokanatha Siva Temple, Hindu temple in Old Town, Bhubaneswar, India.
The Lokanatha Siva Temple features a 4.75-meter-high vimana tower built with sandstone blocks using dry masonry construction techniques.
Built in the 11th century during the Somavamsi period, this temple remained buried until its excavation in 1972 revealed the entrance.
The temple houses a Siva lingam at the center of a circular yonipitha, with carved niches displaying various Saivite deities throughout its structure.
The temple stands near Bindu Sagar Lake and Tala Bazar Road, with the Lingaraja police station compound wall bordering its north and east sides.
This structure served as a smaller prototype for the architectural design of the larger Lingaraja temple, demonstrating early experimentation in temple construction.
