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.
