Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa, is also popularly known as the "Temple City of
India". Being the seat of Tribhubaneswar or 'Lord Lingaraj', Bhubaneswar is an
important Hindu pilgrimage centre. Hundreds of temples dot the landscape of the Old
Town, which once boasted of more than 2000 temples. Bhubaneswar is the place
where temple building activities of Orissan style flowered from its very inception to
its fullest culmination extending over a period of over one thousand years.

Queen of natural beauty, Chilika, the largest brackish water lake in Asia covering an
area of over 1,100 sq. km is a great attraction for the tourists for fishing, bird
watching and boating. In winter Chilika aflutters with thousands of indigenous and
migratory birds of many varieties from far and near - even from the distant Siberia.
The fabulous beauty of Chilika which has inspired poets to sing its glory and which can
be best enjoyed from Balugaon, Barkul, Rambha and Satpada must be seen to be
believed. One can also have a glimpse of the lake from the moving trains and vehicles
on the road near these places. The atmosphere is just serene and undisturbed amidst
the blue expanse of water on one side and an evergreen range of hills on the other.
Dotted with a host of islands with romantic names, a cruise in Chilika will be a lifelong memory.

The magnificent Sun Temple at Konark is the culmination of Orissan temple

architecture, and one of the most stunning monuments of religious architecture in the
world. The poet Rabindranath Tagore said of Konark that 'here the language of stone
surpasses the language of man', and it is true that the experience of Konark is
impossible to translate into words.
