Baitala Deula, Hindu temple in Bhubaneswar, India.

Baitala Deula is a temple in Bhubaneswar built with three prominent spires that rise above the structure. Its stone surfaces are covered with carved details showing deities, hunting scenes, and traditional patterns that cover much of the building.

The temple's original name is unknown; it is dated to the late 8th century by most scholars. Its crosswise roof form, called vaital, first appears at the Bhima Ratha in Mamallapuram, and later buildings such as Temple No. 20 at Naresar and the Teli-ka-Mandir at Gwalior follow the same model. Whether the Chamunda dedication is original remains uncertain.

The name Baitala Deula links the Odia word deula, temple, to vaital, the transverse roof form first seen at the Bhima Ratha in Mamallapuram. The three spires give the local name Tini-mundia deula, and are held to stand for Mahasaraswati, Mahalakshmi and Mahakali. Inside the porch are reliefs of the seven or eight mothers and two Bhairava figures.

The temple stands in the old town, about 200 m west of the Bindu Sagar tank and some 500 m northwest of the Lingaraja Temple. The inner sanctum is windowless and dark, so bring artificial light; early morning sun briefly lights the interior. The porch receives daylight through its open door, two jali windows and small skylights.

Locals call it Tini-Mundia Deula, the "three-headed temple", after the three spires on the tower, said to stand for the goddess Chamunda's three powers: Mahasaraswati, Mahalakshmi and Mahakali. The name Vaital refers to the crosswise roof shape, first seen at the Bhima Ratha in Mamallapuram.
