Megheswar Temple is one of the smaller historic temples in Bhubaneswar, but its carvings and proportions make it more than filler between the famous shrines. It belongs to the old temple landscape that makes the city one of India's richest places for Kalinga architecture.
Come after Lingaraja, Muktesvara, and Rajarani, when you have a feel for the style and can enjoy the variations. The temple is quiet and local, so the visit is short, but the stone detail is worth the detour for architecture-minded travellers.
