                               SIMHANATH TEMPLE(9TH CENTURY) .

                 The Simhanath temple combines older features with new and energetic experiments. Situated on an island in the Mahanadi River it is about 12kms distance from Badamba area in Cuttack District. Believed to be built in 9th century the design of this temple is interesting for its images of Shaiva, Shakta and Vaishnava cults of Hinduism.The jagmohana appears to be influenced by the Vaital Deul temple in Bhubaneswar.
