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

The temple features a rectangular vimana constructed of laterite stone and stands at an elevation of 45 feet in the Papanasini precinct.

Built between the 14th and 15th centuries, this temple demonstrates the architectural characteristics of the Kalingan style with its fivefold division structure.

The name Papanasini holds deep religious meaning, referring to the purification of sins through devotion to Lord Shiva in Hindu tradition.

Located near Badheibanka Chowk, the temple structure measures 2.50 square meters with a vimana reaching 4.16 meters in height.

The temple survives independently without active maintenance, displaying empty niches in its north, west, and eastern walls measuring 0.40 by 0.28 meters.
