Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Lingaraja Temple is located in Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. Official district material identifies Lingaraj Temple as a Hindu temple dedicated to Harihara and explicitly notes it as one of the oldest temples in Bhubaneswar [1]. Local tourism and heritage sources describe the Lingaraj Temple as the largest and most sacred shrine of Bhubaneswar (Old Town), giving its full address in Bhubaneswar and detailing its historical and architectural significance, including its 11th-century origins and status as a key religious monument in the city. These authoritative references confirm Bhubaneswar as the temple’s city location.
