BHUVANESWAR
The Hari-Hara Kshetra

SUBSIDIARY SHRINES AND THEIR FAME

Among the temples that treasure up the gems of Orissan culture and sculpture Parasurameswar, Sisireswar, Brahmeswar, Siddeswar, Megheswar, Mukteswar, Jameswar and Rajarani temples stand prominent and exercise great fascination. Though the maintenance is deplorably poor, their intrinsic loveliness and hoary antiquity hold insatiable curiosity and irresistible appeal. Sight-seers and devotees invariably visit them to feast their eyes with the remarkable art and fill their souls with divinity pervading them.

A visit to Ananta Vasudev temple on the bank of Bindusagar, dedicated to Maha Vishnu is considered a MUST. The temple enshrining the image of Anant Vasuev and Subhadra is a standing testimony of the commendable religious tolerance existing in this great kshetra. And justifies the belief of its being called a Hari-Hara Ksetra.
