Raja Rani Temple, Bhubaneswar.
Mesmerizing architecture of 11th century old temple and its golden history.
The jagamohana entrance flanked with two naga-stambhas, one having a male naga and another a female naga. These are carved with their tails coiling down suggesting upward movement.

The beauty of the architecture in any Hoysala era temple never ceases to fascinate anyone who vsists these temples The intricacies of the design & detailing, are infinitely awe inspiring, strongly riveting, instantly jaw dropping and numbing to the core. No matter how big or small the subject may be the attention to details, precision, proprotion and material selection have never been compromised. Thus, a series of temples have been created that have withotood the vagaries of time and weather over centuries. Marvelling us even today.
