Nilakantheswar Temple, Hindu temple in Puri, India.
The Nilakantheswar Temple stands on the southern bank of Indradyumna tank, featuring a 17-foot Vimana tower, Jagamohana hall, and Natamandapa dance space.
Built in the 7th century, this temple originated as a Buddhist monastery and later transformed into a Hindu shrine, as evidenced by rock inscriptions studied by historian Satyanarayana Rajguru.
The temple houses a Shiva Linga in its sanctum and contains intricate carvings of deities including Ganesha, Karttikeya, and a four-armed Narayana with attendants.
Located at the end of the road from Gundicha temple, this religious site welcomes visitors for ceremonies including marriages, thread ceremonies, and spiritual gatherings.
The temple forms part of the Pancha Pandava temples in Puri and features paintings of Dasamahavidya figures depicting various goddesses on its Natamandapa walls.
