The Lingaraja Temple is the largest in Bhubaneswar, with the sanctum tower rising 36.5 meters. The temple is set in a large walled complex, with many smaller shrines and structures around it. The main temple and its attached mandap (jagamohan) are from the late-11th c, with the additional mandaps and surrounding shrines from subsequent centuries. Lingaraja is also the most important temple in Bhubaneshwar from a religious standpoint, and so of course I wasn’t allowed to take photos inside the walled complex. The photos below are from outside the complex and from a viewing point constructed along the outside of the north wall.
