Bhusandeswar Temple, Hindu temple in Bhograi Village, Balasore District, Odisha, India.
Bhusandeswar Temple houses a Shiva Linga carved from black granite, distinguished by an octagonal middle section. The structure stands prominently within a traditional temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Ancient texts tell of how Ravana received the Shiva Linga, which he later abandoned. The shrine evolved into an important place of worship in the region over time.
The name derives from Bhusand, a local saint who held this place sacred. Devotees come here to pay respect to Shiva and participate in rituals that shape the spiritual life of the region.
The temple is reachable through nearby railway stations, including Jaleswar and Basta. Visitors should prepare for traditional temple etiquette and wear modest clothing.
The shrine houses one of the largest Shiva Lingas, with a significant portion hidden beneath ground level. This concealed dimension gives the place a mysterious quality that few visitors fully grasp.
