Explanation:
From Jain rock-cut caves to Hindu temples to Buddhist stupas, Odisha contains some of the finest examples of ancient Indian architecture. While religious influence, royal patronage and a rich maritime trade encouraged a spate in construction, the intrinsic artistic quality of the local craftspeople ensured the monuments were embellished with the best of sculptures and ornamentation. Considered as a special group (Kalinga school) within the matrix of Indian architecture, the larger body of temples consist of four parts – deul or the sanctum sanctorum, jagamohan or the audience hall, nat mandir or the dancing hall and the bhog mandap or the hall where offerings were made.
Bhubaneswar, the state capital, is probably the best place to begin your journey into the architectural heartland of Odisha. It is said that between the seventh and 12th century, the city had more than 7,000 temples, of which only a handful have survived. Parshurameswara Temple, from the 7th century is the oldest surviving temple. The beehive-shaped tower (deul) and the porch in front (jagmohan) depict the development of Odisha’s temple architecture. Mukteswara Temple, from the 10th century, acts as a bridge between the early and later styles. Unlike other temples, it has an intricately carved arched gateway in front. Rajarani Temple, from the 11th century, gets its name from the two coloured stones used to construct it. But the most famous temple here is the Lingaraja Temple dedicated to Tri-bhubaneswara (Shiva). The main temple, with its 180-feet tower, sits in the middle of a huge complex and is surrounded by other shrines. It is said that the main temple dates back to late 11th century but some of the other shrines date back to the sixth century. While non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple complex, they may catch a panoramic view of the complex from an observation deck just outside.
