'''Dolagovinda Shiva temple''', also known as Vaidyanatha Shiva temple, is at the Rathagada Chowk, Old Town of [[Bhubaneswar]]. The presiding deity is [[Shiva lingam]] in a circular yonipitha installed inside the sanctum. This 15th-16th-century edifice is a living temple. Laxmidhara Praharaja is the chief priest. It is known as Dolagovinda Shiva on account of its proximity to the DolaMandapa across the road.<br />
<br />
Locals ascribe the temple to the Kesharis who were otherwise known as [[Somavaṃśī dynasty|Somavamsis]]. But the scheme of architecture does not conform to the Somavamsis. Rituals like Chatturdasi, Shivaratri and Kartika Purnima are performed.<br />
