The antiquities of Bhubaneswar is definitely multiphased.They exist in layers below surface what is in position now.Sari deula is just an example. Many structures also stand above other ancient edifices. Mentioned about the complex of Rameswar earlier
that it was also a single large temple complex probably of Panchayatana type with a big temple in the middle which we can't ascertain now from the existing structures. These were almost in ruined state during early part of the 19th CE, renovated by ASI later. Just identify this!
K C Panigrahi writes that the plinth of Rameswar temple itself is built of another temple stones which bears clamp marks and earliest type of chaitya arches. Its porch contains a specimen of early Ganesa and several early sculptural fragments found inside the compound.

This 13th Century temple, famously known as Maa #Gangeswari temple situates in the Bayalish bati village of Puri district. Goddess Gangeswari is believed to be the Ishtadebi of Gangas of Odisha.. ImageImageImage
Bayalishbati(lit. 42acres) is also the village of Sibei Samantaray, the chief architect of Konarka temple. Different sources mention that during construction of Konarka groups of Masons were engaged at different places to receive the stones transported through rivers or rivulets, ImageImageImage
to chisel them into sized ones & also to carve out designs on them as per the instructions of the chief architect. Bayalish-bati was one such place where Masons camped for the said purpose. Some believe that this temple is a prototype of Konarka but a closer inspection reveals, ImageImage

After debunked by @KalingaArya regarding the false claims about mansingh or Kesho Das Maru incident, this handle perhaps needs moral victory that's why still blabbering absurd..Get your facts corrected first
1. Read Akbarnama regarding mansingh episode.hw fazl didn't exaggerated!
2. Read Baharistan I Ghayabi regarding Keso Das Maru incident..The rajput attacked Jagannath temple and forced the khurda king Purusottam deb to agree with a humiliating treaty.
3. Read Kulke regarding the same Keso Das Maru incident.. Corroborative facts can't be denied outrightly.

Little known facts about Jagannath temple architecture, Puri.
#Thread👇
1. The first instance of repairing of temple at Puri is assigned to Jajati I of Somabamsi dynasty in around 950CE.
He repaired the existing dilapidated temple meant for Nrusimha & Bimala.
2. Both the Nrusimha & Bimala temple bear the architectural elements of Somabamsi period & also predates the main Deula.

The present main temple(deula) was constructed after 200yrs of renovation by Jajati I. i.e. during early 12th CE by Anantabarman Chodagangadeba.
3.The Jagamohana was built few years after completion of the Bimana during the same Ganga rule as evident from Bada portion of the porch which is artistically similar to the deula.
Whereas Madalapanji mentions that it was built in 16th CE by Mukunda Harichandan.
