Rameshwara group temples

The Rameshwar temple consists of a single hall with a tiered Shikhara in the typical Orissan “beehive” shape. Within the sanctum sanctorum there is an image of the Goddess Durga. The rectuangular mandapa is completely detached from the towered sanctuary, and has doorways on two sides. To the east (separated by a road), is a small complex of three temples; Lakshmaneshwar, Bharateshwar and Shatrughaneshwar. Architectually all three temples are very similar; west-facing, with a square shrine room and a rising tiered Shikhara above, and the absence of any mandap in front. Of the three Shatrughaneshwar temple is the best preserved of the group and has the most intact carvings present on the exterior, which are equisite
