TOUR ITINERARY
DAY 01: ARRIVE BHUBANESWAR
Alight Bhubaneswar; coronal welcome; assistance and transfer to Hotel. Bhubaneswar is the capital of the antediluvian kingdom of Odisha (Orissa), and is famous as the temple city of India. Travel through Odisha (Orissa) is a hodgepodge of art, domicile and long-established customs. City tour of Bhubaneswar, which has some gorgeous temples flock around the Bindusagar Tank. Of the original 7000 only 500 remain dating from the 7th century to the 11th century AD. Of these the most outstanding is the 11th century Lingaraja Temple, which celebrates the meridian of Odisha (Orissa) art; and the late 10th century beautifully decorated Muktesvara Temple, which marks the end of the phase of temple building in Odisha (Orissa). Outside the city limits are the Udayagiri and Khandgiri caves, harking back to the time of Jain and Buddhist occupation of this region in the 2nd century BC. The Jain caves are among the earliest in India and all the caves were built or shovel during the 150 years before Christ. In opposition to the stark decor of the Jain caves, the Buddhist caves are decorated with excellent friezes and sculptures. O/n hotel.
DAY 02: BHUBANESWAR - DHAULI - KONARK - PURI
On the drive to Konark (75km), we will stop at Dhauli where the Mauryan monarch Ashoka disavow violence and cuddle the teachings of Buddha. We visit the Peace Pagoda known as Shanti Stupa built in early 1970s by the Japanese. We also stop at two venerable rock edicts, today overshadow by the presence of the Pagoda. Dating from 260BC they outline Ashoka’s accurate instructions to his administrators to rule with gentleness and fairness. Our next stop is the colorful village of Pipili where we can see Orissan handicrafts, the specialty being the famous applique work.
DAY 03: PURI
Puri is one of the four principal holy habitat in India, as well as a popular beach resort. It offers the rare experience of watching both the sunset and sunrise from the same beach. Pre-Dravidian and pre-Aryan history relates that a tooth of Buddha was temporarily enshrined in Puri before being moved to Sri Lanka. Supporting the theory that Buddhism prevailed in this area, the Jagannath Temple, dedicated to the Lord of the Universe, and the main attraction in Puri, was believed to have originally been a stupa (pagoda). The extraordinary form, Jagannath takes in this temple, is said to be the unfinished work of the craftsman god, Vishvakarma. Angry at Vishnu, he left his interpretation of the ’Lord of the Universe’ incomplete. O/n hotel.
