'''Madanesvara Siva Temple''' is a [[Hindu temple]] dedicated to [[Lord Siva]] built around 12th century CE. It is situated on the left side of the Mahavir Lane branching from Garage Chowk in Santarapur to Sisupalgarh, [[Bhubaneswar]], [[Odisha]], [[India]]. The enshrined deity is a [[Siva lingam]] within a circular ''yonipitha''(basement). It is a broken shrine, and at present, only the ''Pabhaga'' portion is available.<br />
<br />
== Architecture and structure ==<br />
The temple is surrounded by residential buildings on three sides of north, west and east and the road in the south. The temple faces east and has a square sanctum. The superstructure has collapsed since long and the renovated pabhaga with five mouldings which include ''khura'', ''kumbha'', ''pata'', ''kani'' and ''basanta'' is currently in existence.<br />
