In a city heavily dominated by ancient Shiva temples (Ekamra Kshetra), Ananta Vasudeva is the most prominent Vishnu temple. The deities worshipped here are the same as in the Jagannath Temple in Puri (Krishna, Balarama, and Subhadra).
Mythology
The temple was built in the 13th century (1278 CE) by Queen Chandrika of the Eastern Ganga dynasty. It is believed that Lord Vishnu visited this place and was hosted by Lord Lingaraja.
