Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga , Bhimpur, Hindu temple in Bhimpur, India
The Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga temple stands in the western part of Mahendragiri mountains along the Mahendratanaya River in Odisha state.
The temple site remained undiscovered until archaeological excavations in 1974 revealed its presence within the mountainous terrain of eastern India.
The temple houses one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas, featuring a quadrangular Shakti surrounding the Linga adorned with an Upavita according to ancient texts.
Visitors can reach the temple by traveling 30 kilometers from Gunupur or 100 kilometers from the Rayagada district headquarters.
The temple sits at the meeting point of two rivers, Mahendratanaya and Vamsadhara, near the Machha Diian waterfall that flows throughout the year.
