Lingaraj Temple, a unique example of Kalinga architectural style, should be included to the list of must-see temples in India because of the unique work of art it displays. The temple, which is dedicated to Lord Harihara, an aspect of Lord Shiva, is thought to have been built by the kings of the Somavamsi dynasty and later modified by the monarchs of the Ganga dynasty. The temple is built of sandstone and laterite, and it is surrounded by a number of smaller shrines devoted to various gods. |
