Lingaraja Temple, Hindu temple in Bhubaneswar, India.

The Lingaraja Temple rises 180 feet high with four separate halls for rituals, prayers, dance performances, and offerings within its stone walls.

The temple construction started in the 11th century under Somavamsi dynasty kings, with later additions by Ganga rulers who incorporated Vishnu elements.

The temple holds daily ceremonies and attracts 200,000 visitors during Shivaratri festival, marking important dates in the Hindu calendar.

Non-Hindu visitors can observe the temple architecture from a designated platform outside while Hindu devotees enter through the main gate.

The central shrine contains a natural stone lingam measuring 8 feet in diameter, representing both Shiva and Vishnu deities.
