The Muktestwar Temple of Bhubaneswar, Orissa See I And feel I, Who, Who made it, Whose work is this, The grand temple Cut in stone, Chiselled and hewn Out of the large chunks of stone, Rocks and boulders, The Mukteswar temple Devoted and dedicated to Lord Shiv In a minar form Rising and rising? The long-standing temple In a design Ornamental and artistic, Sculptural and architectural, Cut and designed With a few sculptures, Not so many, But cut into And chiselled artistically, Striped and framed With the intrinsic stonework Chiselled and cut through, A temple so artistic, With the arched gateway welcoming in To the sanctum sanctorium. The temple pyramidical But cut through And chiselled And artistic Ad sculptured With damsels and the figurines Of the gods Decorating it And carved out artistically, Cut and chiselled And panelled And bordered And embroidered, Designed and architectural And striking And stupendous And grand.
