Sari Deul Temple - Bhubaneshwar


It is situated just behind the Jagannath Ballabh Matha on the southern side of Vindu Sarover.The temple both in dimension and workmanship is in no way inferior to that of Ananta-Vasudev, but with houses surrounding it on all sides,it is now relegated to an obscure corner. It is a typical example of a Sapta-Ratha temple and its art & architecture provide ample evidence to indicate that it belonged to the Ganga period.The pilasters have been over crowded with numerous scrolls containing the favourite designs of the Ganga art.
