Most researchers accept the sanctuary is the replacement to Parashurameshvara Temple and constructed before to the Brahmeswara Temple (1060 CE). Percy Brown puts the date of development of the sanctuary to 950 CE. The presence of a torana, which isn’t essential for some other sanctuary around there, makes this sanctuary extraordinary and a portion of the portrayals demonstrate the developers were starters of another culture.[4] K.C. Panigrahi places the sanctuary to be worked during 966 CE and hypothesizes that the Somavamshi lord Yayati I assembled the sanctuary. He likewise relates the legend of Kirtivassa to this sanctuary, yet the proposition isn’t acknowledged as Kirtivasa is related with Lingaraja, however both were worked simultaneously for a similar divinity, Shiva. There is no memorable proof to reason that Yayati had fabricated the sanctuary.

The sanctuary has a patio, called Torana, which goes about as the doorway to the octagonal compound. The sanctuary has two constructions, in particular, the vimana (structure over the sanctum) and a mukhasala, the main corridor, the two of which are based on a raised stage. The sanctuary is the earlies to be worked in pithadeula type.

 

The main element of the Mukteshvara Temple is the Torana, or the curved entryway, tracing all the way back to around 900 CE and showing the impact of Buddhist architecture.[8] The angled door has thick columns that have series of dabs and different decorations cut on sculptures of grinning ladies in languorous rest. The patio is a walled chamber with a low, enormous rooftop and interior columns. The blend of vertical and even lines is skillfully organized to give pride to structures of moderate tallness. This early astylar type of sanctuary is best represented in this temple.[9] The passage has models that range from intricate looks to lovely female structures and figures of monkeys and peacocks.[10] The front and back of the curve are comparative in design.

 

The Vimana is square in arrangement and is implicit a brought stage with pilasters up in every veneer. The shikhara is a little contrasted with different sanctuaries; it has four Natarajas on and four kirthimukhas on the four countenances. The top bit of the shikhara has the kalasa.[4] The shikhara is 10.5 meters (34 ft) tall, with each inch etched with embellishing designs, structural examples, and etched figures. Another type of adornment called bho, potentially created here, turned into a noticeable element in later Odisha sanctuaries. It is a profoundly elaborate chaitya window delegated by covered evil spirit head and bantam figures,
