Almost unsourced article and searches (News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary) found nothing significant and notable aside from this and this (which seems to be relating to something else). Maybe there are non-English or offline sources but there's not much to suggest keeping this article. SwisterTwister talk 21:17, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

- Comment: It seems clear that this is a historic temple of some architectural and sculptural interest. Had it been a European church of similar merit, I'm sure somebody would have been able to dig up something to use as a basis for an article, but with an Indian temple... I'm lost. I assume that there are architectural surveys of such things published in print somewhere, but I have no idea where to even start looking. Systemic bias, I guess. -- Hegvald ( talk) 20:48, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep It would be nice to have more sources, but we have enough to demonstate historical and architectural notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 02:52, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

- Keep I agree this is a bit of a challenge, with most of the sources probably offline in dusty colonial documents. However, as a place it certainly exists, probably in itself enough to clear the GNG. It is listed both by the Government of Odisha, and by the Archaeological Survey of India as a monument, so the archaeological notability is beyond question. It seems to have an unusual sivalingam structure (there are photos) with a bright and a dark side. I've formatted the info as three references, which should be ok for now.
