Bhubaneswar: The Central government has decided to announce the Kapileswar temple near Bhubaneswar as a monument of national importance.

The Ministry of Culture, in a Gezette notification on May 5, said, “In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 4 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 (24 of 1958), the Central Government hereby gives notice of its intention to declare the said ancient monument to be of national importance.”

Welcoming the Centre’s decision, Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi, in successive tweets, said Kapileswar temple will go to the protected monument list of the ASI which would ensure better preservation and upkeep.
