The annual car festival of shri Lingaraj Mahaprabhu is known as the Ashokastami or the Rukuna Ratha.
Observed one day ahead of Ram Navami, the ashokastami festival is dedicated to shri Lingaraj mahaprabhu and is unique to Bhubaneswar city. ( and Tripura)
The Mausima Deula at the Mausima Chhak is known as Rameshwar Temple.
As you move from the Kalpana square, Museum and BMC towards Mausima Deula there are 3 more temples on your left, facing west. They are the Laxmaneshwar, Bharateshwar and Shatrughnashwar temple. Google map link given below.

( 575 AD)
Ref article is quoted below:
Shatrughaneshwar Group of Temples – Bhubaneswar( ref aricle: courtesy wordpress.)
Laxmaneshwar is the oldest and most renovated one.
Of course, on both the side of the road there are two small twin temples- *Labeshwar* and *Kusheswar*.
I am interested in this temple complex because, Laxmaneshwar temple dates back to 575 AD. Lingaraj temple dates to 1160 AD. During the construction of the magnificent Lingaraj temple, this temple complex has already existed for 500 years. To put it in the perspective- compared to the present day, arrival of Vasco Da Gama will be as old. Debala Mitra says it’s like a young God paying a visit in respect to his ancestors. See IGNCA’s exhibit below:

Yes time stands still on a patch of land around Kedara Gouri ( 900 AD), Rajarani (1000 AD), Baitala temple (750 AD), Ananta Vasudev ( 1200 AD) in Old town.
In the heart of Bindusagar, the lake stands the only Brahma temple on this coast of India. It dates to 1400 AD. Brahma comes once in year to Bhubaneswar to pay homage to Shri Lingaraj mahaprabhu,and becomes the charioteer of Rukuna Rath.
Visiting these temples is like travelling back 500 years on a time machine.
