Bhubaneshwar

Popularly known as the temple city of India, Bhubaneswar the capital of Orissa has much to offer to every visitor. The city is called so because of over 2000 temples that it houses. Bhubaneswar is a perfect bled of what’s old and traditional and the new and modern.

A visual delight, Bhubaneswar’s twin hills of Kumargiri and Kumarigiri (known as Khandagiri and Udaygiri) contain a variety of rock-cut caves, that were built mainly for the Jain monks around 1st – 2nd century B.C. Bhubaneswar also is popular for its wide array of handicrafts like tie and dye textiles, brass work, bamboo basket weaving etc. One of Bhubaneswar’s most important aspects is its festivals. On Ashokashtami in the month of March, the image of Lingaraja (Lord Shiva) and other deities are taken in a procession from Lingaraja Temple to the Rameshwara Temple. Hundreds of devotees are known to participate in pulling the chariot that carries these deities that remain in the Rameshwara Temple for four days.
