Bhubaneswar, The modern capital of Orissa, and the "Temple Metropolis of
India" can still boast of 500 temples. Of these about a dozen are architecturally
very interesting. There was a time when Bhubaneswar had over 7,000 such shrines.

These temples epitomize a
comprehensive history of the Orissan style of temple architecture from its very inception
to perfection spreading almost to two thousand years from 3rd century B. C. to
16th Century A. D. These magnificent monuments dominating the city skyline, are
within a reasonable walking distance from one another. The 46 metre high Lingaraj Temple
marks the culmination of temple tradition of Bhubaneswar.postinfoadminindexindex1inga |
