Lingaraja Temple, located in Bhubaneswar, India, is one of the oldest and largest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. This architectural marvel dates back to the 11th century and is a prime example of the Kalinga style of temple architecture. The temple complex spans over 250,000 square feet and is enclosed by a high wall. It features a 180-foot tall main tower (shikhara) and several smaller shrines and structures. The deity, Harihara, is a unique representation of both Vishnu and Shiva, symbolizing the syncretic nature of Hindu worship.
