Bhusandeswar Temple, Hindu temple in Bhograi Village, Balasore District, Odisha, India.
The Bhusandeswar Temple contains a black granite Shiva Linga measuring 12 feet in length and 14 feet in width, with an octagonal middle section.
According to ancient texts, the temple's Shiva Linga was gifted to Ravana by Lord Shiva, who later abandoned it due to its substantial weight.
During Maha Shivaratri, Hindu devotees gather at the temple to perform rituals, with priests climbing a podium to reach the Linga's summit.
The temple is accessible through three railway stations: Jaleswar, Basta, and Balasore, which connect visitors to major transportation networks in Odisha.
This religious structure houses what many consider Asia's largest Shiva Linga, with a substantial portion remaining concealed beneath the ground surface.
