KHICHING TEMPLE OF ODISHA


This photograph was taken by me with an AGFA camera way back in 1971 during my discovery of Orissa trip along with my brother in law Bibhuti Bhusan panigrahi on a two wheeler scooter-Lambreta.This is a 7th century temple built with Chlorite slabs.The temple construction is very unique and only one of it's kind.Built in the glorious times of the Royal ruler of Kalinga.It was built at the time of Lingaraj temple of Bhubaneswar.KICHAKESWARI is called as Khiching in short by the local people.As usual the main tourist are from west Bengal.
