Panchalingeshwar Temple, Balasore, Odisha

The temple area includes a stream that comes under the main attraction of this area for visitors. The stream cleans and washes the five Shivlingas as it flows upon them. People need to bend and lie down flat on their stomach on top of the rock to reach the temple and worship the Shivalingas which are inside the water stream. But during the rains, the water of the stream flows unusually making it difficult for the worshippers to touch the Shivalingas with their hands.
