Chitrakarini Temple, Hindu temple in Old Town, Bhubaneswar, India.

The Chitrakarini Temple features stone architecture with intricate carvings depicting elephants, lions, dancing figures, and deities across its walls and vimana.

The temple was built between 1238 and 1264 CE under the reign of Narasingh Dev-1, a Vaishnav king from the Eastern Ganga Dynasty.

The main shrine houses a red stone idol of Chamunda, while the Jagmohan contains Hanuman statues and Navagraha representations in bas-relief.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a left turn from Lingaraja Temple Road and walking through a small lane behind the Lingaraja temple.

The temple originally contained nine Shakti idols: five in the main shrine and one in each of the four corner shrines.
