He saw a small child on a banyan leaf floating on the sea and wondered upon. Finally lord [[Vishnu]] assured him from the doubt.<br /> The ancient Markandeswar Shiva Temple is situated in the Markandeswar street by the side of the [[Pancha Tirtha of Puri|Markandeswar tank]], to the north of the [[Jagannath]] temple, [[Puri]], [[Odisha]], India. This place can be approached on the right side of Markandeswar road leading from Markandeswar chowk to Puri-Brahmagiri road. Markandeya tank is an open structure and it enclosed within a stone wall made of dressed laterite blocks. Bathing ghats are provided for the tourists in southern side of the tank. The tank is used for rituals as well as for normal bathing. Rituals like Pinda Dana, [[Mundan]] Kriya etc. are observed on the steps of the tank. Both Markandeswar temple and Markandeswar tank can be dated back to the 12th century AD. Puri became an important center of pilgrimage by the 12th century. The history in Puri also proves that Sri [[Ramanuja]] visited Puri during 1107 and 1117.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.shreekhetra.com/temples.html more on Markandeshwar Temple]<br /> <br /> {{Shiva temples in Orissa}}<br /> {{coord | 19.810354| 85.815143 |display=title}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hindu temples in Puri]]</div>
