Rajarani Temple is located in Bhubaneshwar, Orissa. It is named for the red-gold sandstone it is built of.
The well kept grounds of Rajarani temple provide a verdant background for it's beautiful images.
Ranarani temple's main tower is famous for its elegant sculptures of beautiful female figurines at play; some play with plants, hold children, admire themselves in mirrors and flirt with visitors.
The base of Ranarani temple's main tower features eight guardians or "dikpalas" facing the eight compass points.
The Orissa king who built Rajarani Temple died before it was finished. A deity was therefore never placed in the central sanctuary so the temple is "godless." No pujas are performed here and visitors can roam freely.
