It is not difficult to understand why there are so temples in Orissa. Right from the beginning of its history, religion and power were integrated. Temples were the genuine expression of the ruler and they ruled towards their almighty, the power that was protecting them from all the problems in life.
They created grand temples, far more beautiful than in any other part of the world. All the major places in Orissa have its share of these temples including the capital Bhubaneswar, where you can find more than hundred beautiful temples. Apart from the temples the state has some of the most stunning beaches in India as well as a rich flora and fauna. |
