Rameshwar temple, Bhubaneswar, popularly known as Mausi Maa Mandir is a East facing temple dedicated to lord Shiva in which is considered as the earliest group of temples in Bhubaneswar. The temple stands approximately 21.5 m high and dates several centuries back. The Shiva temple was built by the prince of Ayodhya Lord Rama, while he was on his way to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana, the King of Lanka. Interestingly, he built the Shiva Linga to pray and overcome bramahasti dosha. During Ashokashtami, Lord Lingaraja arrives at Rameshwar Deula temple on a large chariot – Rukuna Rath – and stays here for four days giving its second name Mausi Maa Mandir. The temple has a huge pond. The place is very well maintained.

This temple is famously known as mausi maa mandira......
Cause lord lingaraj come here every year in Rukuna ratha....for 4 days
Legend goes as when Rama was returning from Lanka after victory over Ravana, Goddess Sita asked to worship Shiva here. So Ramachandra built a Linga for that purpose.Traditionally during Ashokashtami, which falls one day before to Rama Navami in Chaitra Lord Lingaraja comes to this temple by a large chariot called Rukuna Rath and stays for four days. Historically the temple dates back to 9th century.

The Rameshwar temple is very old temple in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. It is believed that the temple was built at the initial phase of the Somavamsi dynasty i.e. early part of the 9th Century AD.
The temple is also known as the Mausi Maa temple of Lingaraj Temple(maternal aunt of Lord Lingaraj). It is located from 2 km distance from Lingaraj shrine.
The temple houses a Shiva Linga consecrated within a circular ‘yonipitha’ made of chlorite. There is also an image of the Durga that is worshipped within the sanctum.
It is said that when Lord Ram was returning from Lanka after victory over Ravana, goddess Sita asked to worship Shiva at the site of the temple. To fulfill the wishes of his wife, Lord Ram built the lingam, and hence the name Rameswara has been attached to the this temple.
The main festival celebrated in the Rameshwar Temple is Rukuna Rath Jatra(also called Ashokastami) during the month March/April (8th day on the month of Chaitra).
Timings: 6:30AM to 7:30PM

In front of the temple, on the opposite side of the road are three temples dedicated to the three brothers of Lord Ram, Laxman, Bharat and Shatrughna. These three temples are the oldest temples built in Bhubaneswar in existence today.

Believed to have been built at the start of the Somavamsi dynasty in the early 9th century A.D, Rameshwar Temple (also known as Rameshwar Deula) was the first site I visited in what turned out to be a somewhat epic tour around the temples and archaeological sites of both Bubaneswar city and the surrounding countryside.
Built of sandstone and facing east, architectually the temple is considered at the transitional phase of the Kalinga school of architecture, and is within the rekha deula category of Kalinga temples.
The temple itself consists of a single hall with a tiered Shikhara in the typical Orissan “beehive” shape that I was going to see a lot of over the subsequent days. The hall contains the main deity, a Shiva Lingam, made of black chlorite. As I was to discover over the next few days, almost all the old temples in Bhubaneswar are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Within the sanctum sanctorum there is an image of the Goddess Durga, but during my visit the temple was quite busy with devotees, so I decided not to enter and intrude on proceedings.
The temple is decorated with some, but not many, intricate sculptures on the 16 pillars and recesses present outside the temple. The carvings include a few Vyalas, but also notably some amorous couples that almost all literature regarding this temple seem to have omitted.
Panels in the sanctuary walls depict Durga (north), Kartikeya (west), and Ganasha (south).
Over the temple doorway are planetary divinities, which was also going to be a very common theme with the temples of Bhubaneswar

Peaceful and serene temple dating back to the 8th century. Accessible by Ola cabs and auto. It's a spacious plot, with benches. Great place for a little get away from the busy life. Also good for meditation. A pond in the compound brings about lot of spirituality and pilgrimage feeling to it. There are a couple of other temples in the vicinity too. One of the earliest temples in Odisha built in the Jagamohan style of architecture with rectangular pillared construction. Must visit.
