'''Panchalingeswar Temple''' is in [[Balasore]] district of [[Odisha]], India. It named after the five [[Shivalinga]] that are enshrined inside. The temple is on top of a hillock near the [[Nilagiri]] hill.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Panchalingeswar Temple {{!}} Baleswar District Goverment of Odisha {{!}} India|url=https://baleswar.nic.in/tourist-place/panchalingeswar/|access-date=2021-11-08|language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Shivalingas are said to have been enshrined by [[Sita]], the wife of Lord [[Rama]] during their exile. Another story holds that King [[Banasura]] worshiped the Swayambhu Lingas at this place given its beauty. A perennial stream, which is the main attraction of the area, regularly washes the Shivalingas as it flows over them. To reach to the temple one has to lie flat on the rock parallel to the stream to touch and worship the lingas inside the water stream.<br />
