During our trip to Orissa we visited Rameshwar Temple at Bhubaneswar, an ancient temple just 2 kms away from the Lingaraj Temple. Other name of the temple is Mausi-maa Temple.
Lord Shiva is the deity of this temple. The temple is built using sandstone on a platform. Architecture of the temple follows Kalingan style and built in the early 12th century A.D.
The temple is decorated with beautiful architectural motifs. There are beautiful sculptures on the external walls of the temple like Gajanan, Bhairava on window like structure.
This is the last temple we visited here on the day as it was cloudy and rainy in the evening.

I am awed with all the sculpted stonework on this temple. Am wondering what the significance of the red on the first temple decoration. The two are so different Very interesting. genie
