History & tradition
The Kapilesvara Siva Temple stands on the south-western edge of Kapilesvara village in the Old Town of Bhubaneswar, Odisha, at the end of the road leading from the Lingaraj temple. The presiding deity is a Shiva lingam set in a circular yonipitha in the sanctum. The east-facing temple rises about 60 feet and stands on the northern bank of the Manikarnika tank, within a precinct that holds 33 other monuments. Local legend regards the spot as especially sacred to Shiva. It remains a living temple in daily worship and is maintained by the Kapilesvara Temple Trust Board.
