संसार के सात आश्चर्य की सूची बनाने वालों का संभवतः इतना सामर्थ्य ही नहीं था कि वो भारत के सभी मंदिरों को देख सकते, अन्यथा आज सातों आश्चर्य में केवल और केवल हमारे मंदिरों के नाम होते। इन मंदिरों को देखकर कोई भी कह सकता है कि हमारी विरासत कितनी समृद्ध हुआ करती थी। ImageImageImageImage
रोमिला थापर, डीएन झा, आर सी गुहा जैसे लोग इतिहासकार बना दिए गए।फिर उसी दौर में वामपंथियों द्वारा पूरे विश्व में ताज महल और कुतुब मीनार का महिमामंडन किया गया, परन्तु भारत के हजारों हिंदू मंदिरों को इतिहास के पृष्ठों में अनदेखा कर दिया गया।

समुद्र तट पर स्थित यह मंदिर अपने आप में अद्वितीय है, आप यहाँ शिव जी की विशाल मूर्ति देख सकते हैं, जिसे आपने नेट पर या मीडिया में शायद कभी देखा होगा। स्कूबा डाइविंग के लिए भी यहाँ उत्तम व्यवस्था है, दिन हो या रात, मंदिर हर समय नया नयनाभिराम दृश्य उपस्थित करता है।

The buildings are mainly in brick but the doorways, pillars and sculpture are mostly in two types of stone, which contrast attractively. These are a "blue-green chlorite & local khondalite, a garniferous gneiss with plum-coloured overtones"
