Markandeshwar Temple, Hindu temple in Puri district, India
The Markandeshwar Temple stands near the Jagannath Temple of Puri, featuring a white structure with detailed carvings alongside the Markandeya Tank.
The Ganga Dynasty constructed this religious structure during the 12th century, establishing it as one of the 52 significant Shiva shrines across India.
The temple conducts ceremonies including Maha Shivaratri, Rishi Panchami, and Sankranti, while the adjacent tank serves for ritual bathing and religious observances.
The temple opens daily from 5:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, located 4.1 kilometers from Puri Railway Station.
The temple contains a Mrityunjay Shiva Linga with visible cracks, attributed to the sudden emergence of Lord Shiva during Sage Markandeya's meditation.
