Rajivalochana, literally means 'the beautiful-eyed one', is one of the important shrines at Rajim, Raipur District, in Chhattisgarh. The presiding deity is Lord Vishnu.

The temple boasts 12 pillars, on which the figures of Goddess Durga, Lord Vishnu, Lord Ram and Lord Narasimha are exquisitely sculpted. It is a fine example of Mahakosala architecture.

Also seen here is a Nala inscription, which dates back to 700 AD.
