History
Built in the 11th century during the Somavanshi dynasty, the Rajarani Temple's exact dedication remains a mystery. Unlike other temples dedicated to specific deities, this temple lacks a presiding deity in the sanctum. The intricate carvings on the temple walls depict scenes from Hindu mythology, including those of Shiva, Vishnu, and Parvati. Over the centuries, the temple has withstood the test of time and stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Kalinga kingdom.
