Ananta Väsudev Temple,
Bhubaneswar
This
is one of the few Vaiñëava Temples in Bhubaneswar. It dates back to the 13th
century, and it enshrines images of Krshna, Balarama and Subhdra. It is located
on the eastern bank of the Bindu Sägara Lake. This dates back to the period of
Chandrika Devi, (the daughter of Anangabhima III, of Eastern Ganga Dynasty) during
the reign of King Bhanudeva. It is located in a walled compound along with
numerous structures. Balarama stands under a seven-hooded serpent, while Krshna
holds a mace and a conch. Subhadra in between is seen holding a pot in one
hand, and a lotus in the other.
