Mukteswar Temple








The famous historian James Fergusson quoted this temple as a "gem of Orissan culture". An important landmark in the architectural development of Bhubaneswar, the Mukteswar evolved a full fledged plan which from then on appeared in all the later temples. The magnificent arched Toran (gate way) adorning the entrance is a piece of stone work unparalleled in history.
