Lingaraj Temple

Lingaraja temple is the first place you must visit in Bhubaneswar. It displays the essence of the ancient Kalinga architecture. The temple receives thousands of visitors daily. It is a perfect must-visit place in India for the history and culture buffs. The non-Hindus are allowed to enter the temple compound. But a viewing platform (it was erected for a visit by Lord Curzon when Viceroy) beside the wall offers a fine view of the principal exteriors.
