Architectural wonder
This is one of the few leaning temples in the world. It is around 400 years old and tilted like the leaning tower of Pisa.It is dedicated to Lord Shiva. People talk about the European monument but do not know that this majestic temple is there in Sambalpur district of Odisha. For those interested in architectural engineering this is a great monument to visit.The surprising thing is that the main temple is tilted in one direction and the other small temples are tilted to some other direction. The river Mahanadi flows nearby and it is full of huge fish who come up to eat sweets given to them by the visitors. There is a folklore that if you kill a fish you will meet the same fate so, they are fed with food and not killed which has resulted in an increase of their population. It is situated 23kms from Sambalpur town.

The only leaning temple in Asia
This is so beautiful temple in its shape, but I don’t understand why the Govt. is not promoting this for tourist attraction.Though it is far away from Bhubaneswar but one should definitely come here to see not the main temple but also the other small temples in its premises, all are tilted.Lord Mahadev is wirshipped here and it is not at all crowded.Besides the temple, a river flowing behind the temple where lots of fishes are there. You feed them and they came towards you. Really a beautiful temple and yes, the road to this temple is also very good.

Leaning Shiva Temple
One of the only two leaning temples in the world and situated on the banks of river Mahanadi. It is normally a one hour drive from Sambalpur and the road is spotless. There is a boat ride available too to a nearby river island on the temple premises. You can also feed fishes that are present in the river.
