History & significance
A sandstone Shiva temple of the Eastern Ganga period at Jameshwar Patna in Bhubaneswar, its rekha vimana paired with a pidha jagamohana and a detached mandapa inside a laterite enclosure. The sanctum holds a linga set in a circular yonipitha; parts of the fabric have weathered badly.
