The temple is surrounded by the [[Bindusagar Tank]] on the west in [[Bhubaneswar]].<br /> <br /> ==Legend==<br /> [[Lord Brahma]] came to [[Bhubaneswar]] to attend the coronation of Lingaraj Deva. Here he was requested to stay forever, but he assured that he will come every year on the month of [[Chaitra]] for the Ashokashtami festival. Again he assured that he will be the charioteer (Sarathy) of the Rukuna Rath of Shri Lingaraja. So a temple was erected in honour of him near [[Bindusagar]].<br /> <br /> ==Architecture==<br /> The main temple is of late Kalingan style dating back to 15th century.&lt;ref name=refadd/&gt; The present temple was built during the Gajapati Rulers. The temple features a four-handed black chlorite image of [[Brahma]].&lt;ref name=refadd&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.apnisanskriti.com/brahma-temple-bindusagar-bhubaneswar-odisha-3668|title=Brahma Temple, Bindusagar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha|work=ApniSanskriti - Back to veda|access-date=2017-10-15|language=en-US|archive-date=15 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015203502/https://www.apnisanskriti.com/brahma-temple-bindusagar-bhubaneswar-odisha-3668|url-status=dead}}&lt;/ref&gt; He is holding [[Veda]] and water vessel in upper two hands and rosary, abhaya mudra in lower two hands.
