It's not a Court...it's Jagganath temple, Narsinghpur, Odisha.
Probably the only temple with British architecture.
The shrine has existed since 1686.
But this building was built in 1934 by Raja Anant Narayan Mansingh of the then princely state of Narsinghpur.
Nag Champa (cannon ball flower) is rare and pretty. it was supposed to be holy and grown in shiva temples......Keonjhar is fortunate to have at least two trees .at Kushaleshwar temple and at Rani Niwas
