 The Mukteswara Temple in Orissa marks the transition point from the temple architectural style as seen in the Parsurameswara Temple in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, to the later colossal temples of Lord Jagannath in Puri and Lingaraja Temple in Bhubaneswar.
Tourism of Orissa offers tours to Orissa temples including the Mukteswara Temple, which marked a new wave in the Kalinga School of temple architecture, to make your tour to Orissa Temples a memorable and enriching experience for your entire family.
Here, at the Mukteswara Temple, you can see a 35 feet deul (main tower) that signals the coming of colossal structures at Puri and Bhubaneswar. The Jagamohana (porch), modeled on the Parsurameswara Temple, also shows signs of evolution from being a subsidiary structure to becoming a massive sculpted pyramidal structure that demands a study of its own.
You too can visit the yet to turn square interiors of the porch and study the appearance of the lion head (belonging to tantric temples) that reappear in all the temples build later on your tour to Mukteswara Temple, with Tourism of Orissa tours packages.
The image of Ketu, the removal of halos as a distinguisher between men and Gods, and the curvilinear ascent of the deul are other changes that are worth noticing on your tour to the Mukteswara Temple.
The Gateway to the Mukteswara Temple, modeled on the torana (arched gateway) recovered from the field in Bhubaneswar, bears sculptures that range from elaborate scrolls to pleasant female forms and figures of monkeys and peacocks etc. The Mukteswara Temple Torana tells you of the magnificent structure that is ahead of you, on your journey to Mukteswara Temple with Tourism of Orissa tour packages.
You too can see and be amused at the pictorial depiction of the tales from Panchatantra on the walls of the Jagamohana (porch) on your tour to Mukteswara Temple in Bhubaneswar, Orissa.
