Our world Tuesday

Kedareswar temple at Bhubaneswar.A significant signature in Indian architecture.Almost peaceful except when visitors arrive by tourist vehicles.Arches,domes and other way of building parts are with its uniqueness comparing other parts of temples.

Another interesting feature that has been noticed was there was board nearby this temple which reads as this.A club established in sixties and it seems there was some reading room in this.Clicked out of interest towards its entity.
