Orissa is a land of temples. The concentration of the largest number of temples all over the state has made it a centre of unique attraction for scholars, Indologists, tourists and others. Out of the five different types of architecture, that is: devotional, memorial, civil, military and domestic, we mainly come across the devotional type of architecture in Orissa. Others have disappeared with the ravages of time and power.
