Even without its feral beauty, Orissa is still one of the most enthralling dramas to unfold on this planet. Train rides are never the same again if one has a rail map of Orissa.
In this view, an odyssey in Orissa takes one to the greatest Temple City of India, Bhubaneswar. Bursting at the seams with temples, the city cradles architectural gem that is the Lingaraja Temple.
Holy as this city is, Puri is zeroed in for the renowned Jagannath Temple. But the culmination of a temple tour of Orissa is infiltrating the very confines of the immensely marvelous Sun Temple, the 13th century leviathan of Konark.
After all is said and done, the all-too lovely beaches of Orissa are too inviting to pass up. Its beaches are strangers to overcrowding, making them the crossroads of many discriminating tourists in India. Chandipur Beach is just one, boasting a tide that ebbs as far as five kilometers away. |
