Talk:Visvanatha Shiva Temple, Bhubaneswar

Other temples with similar names
I originally just set out to wikify this article, but I started digging around and it didn't take me long to get confused by all the names. I was wondering how this temple is related to Visvanath Siva Temple, which seems to be in the same city, but built 700 years before. There's also this temple—Kashi Vishwanath Temple, which may be referred to in this article by the word Kashi (I linked it to Benares). If that weren't enough, there is this temple, which is in a place called Khajuraho. What does the word Visvanatha refer to? There is no article about it.

Anyway, it was interesting reading about lingams and yonis. You might want to read through the lead and check all my links to make sure they point to what they're supposed to. Cheers. Braincricket (talk) 15:12, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
