Bhubaneswar
The capital of the eastern Indian state of Orissa, is Bhubaneswar. Situated next to National Highway No 5, Bhubaneswar is an important commercial centre. The newer part of the city possesses all the glitz and glamour of a modern city. But it is to the old town that a visitor looks forward to. Several hundreds of the original one thousand temples of the city still survive, the oldest groups dating between the 7th and 11th century. Each temple has a distinct specialty and a history or legend of its own.
