History & tradition
The Astasambhu Siva Temples are eight temples of Shiva in the Uttaresvara Siva Temple precinct in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. All eight are of the same size and dimensions; the name joins ashta, eight, with Sambhu, a name of Shiva. Five of them stand in a single line and are known locally as the Panchu Pandava. Their architectural features, such as the divisions of the wall and the base mouldings, date them to around the 10th century. They are built of stone.
