Bhubaneswar, Temple city in Odisha, India

The capital of Odisha contains over 600 temples that display ancient architectural patterns through intricate stone carvings and religious symbols.

Originally established in the 2nd century BCE as Sisupalgarh by the Chhedi dynasty, Bhubaneswar replaced Cuttack as Odisha's capital in 1948.

The Lingaraj Temple, constructed in the 11th century, stands as the central religious structure in the city with its 54-meter-high spire.

The Biju Patnaik International Airport connects the city to major Indian destinations, while an extensive road network facilitates local transportation.

German architect Otto Königsberger designed the modern section of Bhubaneswar in 1966, creating one of India's first planned urban developments.
