परमेश्वर मन्दिर तथा मुक्तेश्वर मन्दिर की स्थापना 970 ई. के आसपास हुई थी। परमेश्वर मन्दिर अभी सुरक्षित अवस्था में है। यह मन्दिर इस क्षेत्र के पुराने मन्दिरों में सबसे आकर्षक है। इसमें आकर्षक चित्रकारी भी की गई है। एक चित्र में एक नर्त्तकी और एक संगीतज्ञ को बहुत अच्छे ढंग से दर्शाया गया है। इस मन्दिर के गर्भगृह में एक शिवलिंग है। यह शिवलिंग अपने बाद के लिंगराज मन्दिर के शिवलिंग की अपेक्षा ज्यादा चमकीला है।
मुक्तेश्वर मन्दिर में नागर शैली और कलिंग वास्तुकला का अद्भूत मेल देखा जा सकता है। मुक्तेश्वर मन्दिर में नक़्क़ाशी का बेहतरीन काम किया गया है। इस मन्दिर में की गई चित्रकारी काफी अच्छी अवस्था में है। एक चित्र में कृशकाय साधुओं तथा दौड़ते बंदरों के समूह को दर्शाया गया है। एक अन्य चित्र में पंचतंत्र की कहानी को दर्शाया गया है। इस मन्दिर के दरवाज़े आर्क शैली में बने हुए हैं। इस मन्दिर के खंभे पर भी नक़्क़ाशी की गई है। इस मन्दिर का तोरण मगरमच्छ के सिर जैसे आकार का बना हुआ है। इस मन्दिर के दायीं तरफ एक छोटा सा कुआं है इसे मरीची कुंड के नाम से भी जाना

Makar Sankranti
Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan or Maghi or simply Sankranti, also known in Bangladesh and West Bengal as Poush Sankranti, and in Nepal as Maghe Sankranti, sam(n)kranti here means ‘transfer’, this day is considered as the transition day of Sun into the Capricorn. Now the sun moves northwards in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to the deity Surya (sun), many native festivals are organised all over India. It is observed each year the day Sun enters the Capricorn zodiac which corresponds with the month of January as per the Gregorian calendar.
It marks the first day of the sun's transit into Makara rashi (Capricorn)
Due to the addition of one day in leap years, the date of Makar Sankranti may vary a bit. On leap years it falls on 15 January, otherwise on 14 January. There are 365.24 days in one year but we can use only 365 whole days. Then we add one day on the leap year. By the time of leap year, year Calendar is lagging almost one day behind the sun, causing Makar Sankranti to fall on 15 January. When correction is made Makar Sankranti falls back on 14 January.
In most regions of India, Sankranti festivities last for two to four days of which each day is celebrated with distinct names and rituals.
Day 1 – Maghi (preceded by Lohri), Bhogi Panduga
Day 2 – Makara Sankranti, Pongal, Pedda Panduga, Uttarayana, Magh Bihu
Day 3 – Mattu Pongal, Kanuma Panduga
Day 4 – Kaanum Pongal, Mukkanuma
