Kapileswar Mahadev Temple is located at Hatuari village in
Dhenkanal District of
Orissa. It is dedicated to
Lord Shiva.
There is an inscription stating that the temple was built by a ruler named Kapileswar (1435-1467). The temple is in a dilapidated condition and the intact portions remind us of the architectural skills of the medieval period. Some of the notable carvings include the image of Nataraja and a slab depicting an elephant procession.
