Incredible India
Ram Mandir, Bhubaneswar

The major attraction of Bhubaneswar Ram Mandir is the beautiful images of Lord Rama, Lord Lakshman, and Goddess Sita. The high rising spire of the main temple visible from many parts of the capital city is its main attraction. Built and managed by a private trust, the temple complex also comprises shrines devoted to ochre-painted marble idols of Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva, and other gods. Ram Mandir is very beautiful from outside, as most constructions in Bhubaneshwar are characteristic by one style from a first eye visitor but the place seems unique. It has been painted beautifully using sculptures on walls. A gorgeous temple located in the heart of the city, the Ram Mandir in Bhubaneshwar is known for housing beautiful images of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. This newly built temple is characterized by its large spires which can be spotted from afar and its fiery colors.
