Today, I will write about the ancient Singhanath Temple, located near Gopinathpur village in Badamba Tehsil of Cuttack district, Odisha. This eighth-century temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and popular among devotees and tourists alike. It has become a renowned Saiva Pitha of the State.

Apart from its stunning architecture, the temple draws thousands of devotees daily, thanks to its scenic surroundings. Inside the temple premises, one can spot Lord Shiva, Lord Rama, and Maa Dakshina Kali. The temple becomes especially crowded during various festivals, particularly Maha Shivratri.

The Kalingan style of architecture, featuring a rekha deula (sanctum) and a jagamohana (assembly hall), will leave you speechless. The temple is connected to the popular T-Bridge, which is constructed over the mighty Mahanadi River.

Points to Remember Before Visiting the Temple
*Avoid summer, as the hot climate can be uncomfortable. It is better to enjoy the scenic view in winter.
*The temple is well-connected to Cuttack, Athgarh, and Banki. One can also travel from Bhubaneswar by hiring a taxi.

There goes without saying that Indonesia is famous for its magnificent beaches, which beckons millions of tourists every year. However, one simply can’t ignore their hundreds of impressive temples. Be it Pura Taman Saraswati or Uluwatu Temple. Their exquisite architectures will leave you awe-struck. My joy for discovering prominent Hindu temples in Bali was an exhilarating experience.

Every temple has a history to tell. Observe them deeply and you will experience spirituality awakening inside you. I have clicked hundreds of images of the famous temples, which might entice you take a trip to Indonesia.
But before visiting a temple, there are certain rules one should keep in mind. Respect the deities and don’t touch them. Dress properly. Yes, it is mandatory. If you forget to dress properly, many temples also offer clothes with which you can cover yourself.
