Uttaresvara Siva Temple, Hindu temple in Old Town, Bhubaneswar, India

The Uttaresvara Siva Temple stands on the northern embankment of Bindusagar tank, featuring a circular yoni pitha at the center of its sanctum.

Dating from the 7th century with later additions, this temple underwent renovations during the 12th and 19th centuries, displaying structural modifications above its pabhaga.

The temple hosts celebrations of Nrusimha Janma, Durgastami, Kartik Purnima, and Shiva Ratri, drawing devotees from across the region.

Located near Kedara-Gouri Chowk, visitors can reach the temple through rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, and local buses from central Bhubaneswar.

The Godavari Tank within the temple grounds originated when Lord Shiva struck his trident into the earth to create water for Goddess Parvati.
