About Bhubaneswar
The state of Orissa, of which Bhubaneswar is the capital, is located
in the eastern part of India between Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. There
are convenient air and surface transportation to Bhubaneswar. The area
offers a number of fascinating activities for visitors: many
historic shrines built by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains; a range of
handicrafts and handwoven textiles, and opportunities for enjoying the
distinctive art forms of this region.
The areas around Bhubaneswar have several major attractions. The
magnificent Sun Temple of Konark (known to generations of sailors as
Black Pagoda) is internationally renowned. Puri and Konark have
beautiful beaches, and the Chilika Lake, the largest brackish water
inland lake in Asia, abounds with migratory birds and many varieties
of fish. Close to Bhubaneswar is the Chandaka Forest, a sanctuary for
wild elephants, and Nandankanan Zoological Park, a botanical garden
that includes the largest lion and tiger safari in India. The
Udayagiri and Khandagiri hills at the outskirt of the city have a
network of man-made caves dating from the first century B.C.
