'The Abode of the Lord of the World’ is the literal meaning of Bhubaneshwar, the capital city of Orissa. Popularly known as the "Temple City of India", it is the seat of 'Tribhubaneshwar’ or 'Lord Lingaraj', the Lord of the Three Worlds – the God Shiva. In case you missed the point, Bhubaneshwar is temple town and the temples are just about everywhere. You round a corner and there it is, another temple. You fall asleep and wake up to the ringing of temple bells and chanting of shlokas! The skyline of old Bhubaneshwar has temple spires extending tall fingers into the clouds with saffron pennants announcing the all-encompassing presence of Hinduism. New Bhubaneshwar with its modern buildings and extensive infrastructure perfectly blends into the religious ambience.
