Being
a part of the Mauryan Empire, Odisha houses lots of tourist attractions. The
capital city of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Konark, Paradeep, Rourkela, etc.
are some of the major places that everyone needs to visit once. For promoting
and facilitating tour and
travel in Odisha, several travel agencies have been operated

What
to Visit
Starting
from the beautiful city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha has several archaeological wonders
in the form of Nagara style temples dedicated to various Hindu deities for
which Bhubaneswar is rightly termed as the “temple city of India”. The
following temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva:
• Parasurameswara Temple
• Mukteswara Temple
• Lingaraja Temple
Apart
from that, a line of part natural and part artificial caves in Udayagiri and
Khandagiri is really worth visiting. They contain a number of Jain temples and
stone carvings dating back to Mauryan Empire.
Other
important tourist places include Brahmeshwara temple, Nandankanan Zoological Park
and Odisha State Museum.
Puri
is most famous for Jagannath temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and it is a scenic
marvel. Apart from the temple, you never want to miss the heavenly environment
of the Puri beach. It is a real paradise for sand artists and for those who
admire it. Every year an annual Beach festival is held at this place.
Konark
is another travel destination in the map of Tour and Travel in Odisha where
the famous Sun temple is located. The temple is shaped like a chariot with
wheels and pillars. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in an 8 km
distance from the temple, Kuruma is one of the major archeological excavation
sites of the state with mesmerizing natural beauty.
