Fell in love rather rose in love upon reaching and experiencing Bhubhaneshwar,-Odisha, its architecture, religious psyche, the people.No less was my experience at this Iconic Lingaraj Temple.Being a ritualistic worshipper myself of almost all the traditions including the Vaishnavite and Shaivite tradition, am well versed the sacred hyms and articles of worship to be offered to the respective dieties.This was the only Temple from over ten thousand temples I have visited throughout India,Which not only allowed but celebrated the Worship of these 2 cosmic wielders of forces of Nature,I.e: sattva and tamoguna with their respective articles of significance -Tulsi leaves to Lord Narayana,and Bilva Leaves for Lord Shiva with their respective hyms.thiroughly enjoyed the ritual and time spent at the sanctum sanctorum thoroughly.Here also bought aswellas donated a Flag that would be hoisted atop of the Temple.Great Temple,Loved it thoroughly.

I have seen chausathi (64) yogini temple one at Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh and this is another one. But astonishingly the structure of both these temples are quite similar. This temple is in Hirapur village some 20 kms from Bhubaneswar towards Puri. But if you go by Tankapani Road through Sai Temple, after crossing the daya river bridge this village is there. The temple is also in outskirt of the village.It is not a favorite place for tourists, so you can admire its beauty peacefully. Only one goddess is worshiped here, though there are 63 remaining there. Indeed a small but beautiful place.

You must be stunned when u visit this temple. In South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, we pray the almighty in the form of statue. But here, Shiva lingams and Snake structured Deities are present everywhere. The architecture and Gardening are the huge attraction of this temple. Don't Miss It. Otherwise u r the looser. 2 Hours and Evening are Best.

This is one of the famous temples in Bhubhaneshwar with a beautiful arch in the front and one of the few temples with a carved ceiling of the garbha Griha. The carving outside is just so delicate and the temple is charming made in the 10th cent CE.

Located on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, dhauli shanti stupa is one of the famous tourist attractions in the state. It lies on top of the dhauligiri hills and is a buddhist peace pagoda built by King Ashoka. It is a peaceful place and one can come here with both friends and family. The view from the top of the hills is stunning. Apart from the pagoda, there is a Japanese temple and ashokan edicts which are also worth a visit. The roads leading to this place are spotless and one can easily find multiple modes of transport to come to this place from the nearby cities.
