The Ananta Vasudeva Temple, built in the 13th century by Queen Chandrika Devi of the Eastern Ganga dynasty, is a rare Vaishnavite temple in Bhubaneswar, a city primarily known for its Shaivite temples. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Vasudeva) along with Balarama and Subhadra, it closely resembles the nearby Lingaraj Temple in architectural style but features carvings and iconography specific to Vaishnavism.
The temple is renowned for its beautiful sculptures, intricate carvings, and traditional temple kitchen (Rosa Ghara), where devotees are served Mahaprasad (sacred food offerings). Unlike many other temples in Bhubaneswar, non-Hindus are not restricted from entering.
