About
Lokanath Temple is one of the most prominent Shiva shrines in Puri, established in the 11th century CE. The presiding Shivalinga remains submerged underwater inside the sanctum in a natural spring throughout the year, and is visible to devotees only on Pankodhar Ekadashi when all the water is bailed out.
