The Paschimesvara Siva Temple is located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. This temple dates back to the 8th century AD, and belongs to the Bhaumakara period. The superstructure of the temple collapsed a long time ago, but the linga is still visible over fallen stones. Historians have gathered information about the temple from the stylistic features of the detached sculptures of Kartikeya, Ganesha, Parvati and Narasimha. A flight of steps leading to the lingam from the west suggest that the temple originally faced the west.
