Rajarani Temple - Bhubaneshwar

Although the Rajarani temple has been one of the most notable monuments of the place, such a name does not occur in any of the four sanskrit texts that profess to deal with the history of Bhubaneswar from the orthodox standpoint.

The names of all Saiva temples at Bhubaneswar ends with Eshwar, e.g. Parsurameswar, Brameswar, Mitreswar, Yameswar etc. The names of non- Saiva temples have been derived from their presiding deities,e.g.,Gauri temple,Parvati temple, Mohini temple and Ananta-Vasudev temple etc.
