    If you can spare a minute, head to the north west corner of the main hall there’s a small stone tablet that lists the exact year 850 CE and names King Pratap Sena. The tablet also explains that the idol was found already formed, which is why it’s called Swayambhu. If you need a quick written recap, the temple office usually prints a one page summary you can take with you. And if you’re looking for a place to stay after your visit, Hotel O Saket Homes in Bhubaneswar is a short drive away.
