Poor infrastructure; even there is no place to keep your shoes. Somehow did not like it. If you are not a very religious minded , dont waste your time.

That, Cleanliness is Holiness is forgotten here. Even inside the temple hall the Bulls have free access and their droppings are not removed . The place is too dirty. Blind Faith must not be compromised with hygiene.

First I should express my feeling on the road to the temple. From Bengal to Orissa on road was the best experience. The road on Orissa side is better as it is well maintained. Overall the is comfortable. The temple is very popular and various people around the states come here for worship. The temple is also well maintained.

Chandaneswar temple, the temple of Lord Shiva, is located at Chandaneswar Baleswar in teh State of Odisha, India. We went to Digha wherefrom we took a toto ride (battery-run rickshaw) of five-six km @350/-. Every year from 14 March to 14 April, a Chaitra Fair is held here. It is really a holy place to visit.

This temple is again situated in the Balasore district of Odisha. It is well connected to Digha. The temple is old, but well maintained. Its surroundings are congested and movement of bigger vehicles is a bit difficult.

Chandaneshwar Temple in Balasore District of Odisha is a famous and ancient Shiva Temple, and regularly visited by hundreds of devotees. Though the temple is in Odisha, it is very close to Odisha-Bengal border and the beach town of Digha in West Bengal. On Odisha side, the nearest town and railhead is at Jaleshwar. For someone visiting Digha a half day sightseeing trip mandatorily includes this temple, along with some other attractions across the state border.
Location
The temple is located at Chandaneshwar, at one end of NH 116B. From Chandaneshwar Roundabout take Chandaneshwar-Talsari Road. The temple will be on your right after about 200 m.
The distances from nearest populous areas is given below:
Digha (in West Bengal) – 8 km
New Digha/ Digha Railway Station (in West Bengal) – 6 km
Jaleshwar Railway Station (in Odisha) – 40 kms
As already mentioned, due to its proximity to Digha most tourists visit this temple. But apart from tourists, the local population revere the temple and form a major chunk of visitors daily.
The Temple
The temple is a rather small one, but has a big compound. It has typical Bengali Baro-Chala (twelve eaves) architecture with burnt brick construction. Baro-Chala is a style of temple architecture that arose in Bengal but is rare to find. The base temple roof has sloping four-eaves of char-chala temple style, topped with a small replica of the temple on top of that the base temple forming the second layer, followed by an even smaller replica forming the topmost layer. Each roof (i.e., of main temple and the replicas) has four eaves, totaling twelve eaves. Thus the name, Baro-Chala. There are small pinnacles on the edges and center of the main roof. This is also called Pinnacled Style or Ratna style of temple construction. If the small Aat-Chala replica over the main temple is considered as one pinnacle, then there are total seventeen pinnacles or Saptadosh Ratna style.
Two such adjoin buildings constitute the Temple. Thick pillars separated by arched passageways hold the roof in place. The second temple houses the linga, while the first temple is the Nata mandira or dance hall. The Shiva Linga here is said to be Shwayambhu (or self-originated), but it cannot be seen. It is present deep inside the ground inside a pit filled with holy water. There are some smaller structures and temples present in the compound. A pond is there, whose water is considered to be holy.
Renovation and fresh flooring was going on when we visited in December 2018.
During the Odia month of Chaitra (mid March to mid April) this temple hosts a huge fair called Charak Mela, which is attended by lakhs. During this period special pujas are organized in which several specific rituals are involved. On the concluding day of the month of Chaitra, i.e., Pana Sankranti, (Odia: ପଣା ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି) or Maha bisuba Sankranti (generally on mid April), lakhs of devotees flock the temple for a special puja.
History
The exact history of the temple is not clear. No reference was available on the internet at the time of visit or writing of this post. The temple authorities (or at least the representatives who were present) also did not have much idea about the age. But seeing the construction it can be safely guessed the temple is at least a couple of hundred years old, and that is enough to add to the historic value of the place (Ratna Style of temple construction started around 16th century and continued till 18thcentury, when Bengal came under British rule and locals kings lost their autonomy and money power).
Temple Experience
As on December 2018 the temple is very dishearteningly ill maintained. Several cows and ox live inside the compound, and roam rather freely. Though cow dung and cow urine is considered holy in Hinduism, they don’t add to the feel good factor when one is bare feet and they are scattered everywhere! The temple exterior is well maintained, but the inside is not. The Garbhagriha (sanctum sanctorum) was poorly lit with flowers and leaves scattered everywhere.
Though there is a temple management committee but, puja in the temple is actually controlled by a closed group of priests or Pandas. They try to extract money from the moment you enter the temple and with every action they perform in name of puja. Be firm, and stick to your requirements of puja. Otherwise your spending will know no limit. Puja items are available outside and inside the temple. They vary in price and content, so be cautious. Standard packet costs INR 51/- and contains puja items and dry prasad to carry back home.
Inside the Garbha Griha the priest surround the holy pit, limiting visibility. If you don’t hire a priest (who will possibly show you the pit) be patient and wait for some time. Getting a clear view of the pit is not that difficult.
Photography is allowed in the temple, even inside the Garbha Griha.
Ample parking space is available right beside the temple entrance. They charge INR 20/- per vehicle for parking.
Our Opinion
The temple is old and has distinct historic and cultural value. There may be a few setbacks in the way the temple is managed, but for someone visiting Talsari from Digha this temple is definitely worth a visit for at least 30 mins. Avoid pandas if you don’t want to offer puja or negotiate beforehand. Though avoid the month of Chaitra (mid March till mid April), if you don’t want to get stuck in long queues and crowd.

Correctly answered by Tapas Kumar Bhattacharyya.
We travelled by car from Kolkata. But as mentioned, there are ample local transport available, both shared and private. Bargain and fix the rate in advance.
