Panchalingeswar stands on a hillock near Nilagiri, surrounded by natural beauty, and welcomes visitors as a popular picnic spot. Panchalingeswar has derived its name from the five lingas (Phallus), who the legends describe as the Creator and Destroyer of the Universe. A perennial stream flows over the five lingams in this scenic spot on the lap of the Nilgiri Hills (King Banasura of Balasore installed the lingams), making the place the abode of Lord Shiva, one of the famous holy places of worship in Balasore. The temple of Lord Shiva stands at the top of the hill.
