The Bhubaneswari (Bhuvaneshwari) Temple is dedicated to Goddess Bhuvaneswari (Bhuvaneshwari). It was built in the 17th Century by Maharaja Govinda Manikya. It is estimated that the temple was constructed in around 1660 to 1675 AD. The temple is situated besides the river Gomati and is located close to the old royal palace. The beautiful temple is perched upon a three-foot elevated porch. There is a four chaala roof, stupas at the entrance and a core chamber that completes the architecture of the temple.

Hi @bishwajitkuri

Wow, it is a very nice temple and looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Did you visit it or you live there? Is this place famous among tourists? Can you share more about the place that you took the photos of? I think it will be interesting for other Local Guides.

Hello Aruni,

thanks for the compliment. Yes, I was visit the temple on 13th August this year. As I heard from the local public, Once upon a time humans were sacrificed in front of Ma Bhubaneswari which was stopped by Raja Govinda Manikya. The Statue or the Fetish of Ma Bhubaneswari was immersion and a new temple was established beside the old temple.
