A.D this Temple is dedicated to lord Shiva. Like in other Shiv Temples in India you will find Images of Parvati, Ganesh and Kartika in three sides of this Temple. It belongs to the earliest group of temples in Odisha             (Kalingan Style of Temple Architecture) and thus having Two Structures in Total i.e Nata Mandap and the Sanctum Sanctorium.  Nata Mandap having a flat Roof is the Proof that this Temple belongs to the earliest time as in the later Group of Temples ( Built after 9th Cent.
