“Believed to have been built at the start of the Somavamsi dynasty in the early 9th century A.D, Rameshwar Temple (also known as Rameshwar Deula) was the first site I visited in what turned out to be a somewhat epic tour around the temples and archaeological sites of both Bubaneswar city and the surrounding countryside. Built of sandstone and facing east, architectually the temple is considered at the transitional phase of the Kalinga school of architecture, and is within the rekha deula category of Kalinga temples. The temple itself consists of a single hall with a tiered Shikhara in the typical Orissan “beehive” shape that I was going to see a lot of over the subsequent days. The hall contains the main deity, a Shiva Lingam, made of black chlorite. As I was to discover over the next few days, almost all the old temples in Bhubaneswar are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Within the sanctum sanctorum there is an image of the Goddess Durga, but during my visit the temple was quite busy with devotees, so I decided not to enter and intrude on proceedings. The temple is decorated with some, but not many, intricate sculptures on the 16 pillars and recesses present outside the temple. The carvings include a few Vyalas, but also notably some amorous couples that almost all literature regarding this temple seem to have omitted. Panels in the sanctuary walls depict Durga (north), Kartikeya (west), and Ganasha (south). Over the temple doorway are planetary divinities, which was also going to be a very common theme with the temples of Bhubaneswar 🤩🙏💯💯”
