Champakesvara Siva Temple, Hindu temple in Old Town, Bhubaneswar, India.

The Champakesvara Siva Temple features traditional Odia architecture with a vimana and jagamohana structure measuring 11 meters in length and 6 meters in width.

Built during the 13th century Ganga period, this laterite stone temple stands 157 meters west of Parasuramesvara Temple along the Kotitirthesvara lane.

The temple hosts several Hindu festivals including Shivaratri and Jalasayi, while also serving as a venue for thread ceremonies and marriage engagements.

Local tradition states that the temple houses the champa naga snake species, which inspired its name and maintains a peaceful presence within the sacred space.
