Chausathi Jogini Temple

Reviewed By debashis77_12 - Dehradun, India

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.

Brahmeshwara Temple

Reviewed By indianilan

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.

Dhauligiri Shanti Stupa

Reviewed By sarthakhota - Bhubaneswar, India

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.
