Subarnesvara Siva temple is situated on the left bank of the Lingaraja west canal, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India.
The east facing temple enshrines a Siva lingam within a circular yoni pitha in a sanctum measuring 2.35 square meters.
Architectural features and scheme of decoration including the building material bears strong resemblance with other 10th century temples of Bhubaneswar.
On elevation, the temple is in rekha order measuring 11.58 meters in height from khura to kalasa with usual bada, gandi and mastaka.
Since the sanctum (cella) is 1.20 meters below the present ground level, there is seepage of water from the adjoining west canal during monsoon and heavy rains.
The overflow of the adjoining west canal during rains leads to underground water stagnating inside the garbha griha that is weakening the temple foundation.
