Megheswar Temple, Hindu temple in Bhubaneswar, India

Megheswar Temple is a shrine built in the classical Kalinga style with a prominent tower and intricate stone carvings adorning its outer walls. The facade displays detailed relief work showing religious stories and symbolic patterns throughout.

The temple was built during the 12th century and represents the development of Kalinga architecture in medieval times. Its construction shows the craftsmanship of that era and shaped the architectural heritage of the region.

This is a living place of worship where visitors observe people performing daily prayers and making offerings at shrines. The halls fill with incense and flowers as part of how the community expresses its faith.

The temple sits on Tankapani Road and is open daily from sunrise to sunset for visitors. You should remove your shoes before entering the inner spaces and wear respectful clothing.

The architecture uses precise mathematical proportions that show ancient builders had advanced knowledge of geometry. These ratios are visible in the floor plan and arrangement of the structural elements.
