Introducing Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneswar’s rapid expansion has been tempered by the construction of wide avenues and the green belts; nevertheless a typically hectic, noisy, congested city centre greets the traveller. The old city’s spiritual centre is around Bindu Sagar where, from the thousands that once stood here, 50-odd stone temples remain, survivors from the heyday of Orissan medieval temple architecture.

The city is also a base for day trips to Dhauli, Konark, Nandankanan Zoological Park and Cuttack.
