Introduction of Bhubaneshwar
Orissa is a state situated in the east coast of India. Orissa is bounded on the north by Jharkhand, on the north-east by West Bengal, on the east by the Bay of Bengal, on the south by Andhra Pradesh and on the west by Chhattisgarh. The state is known for its temples, especially in the cities of Konark, Puri, and Bhubaneswar. The dense population, concentrated on the coastal alluvial plain, is inhabited by the non-tribal speakers of the Oriya language. The interior, inhabited largely by the indigenous people known as Adivasis is hilly and mountainous.
The capital of Orissa is Bhubaneswar. It is famed for its magnificent temples, numbering around a thousand. The city of Puri is nearby, at a distance of around sixty kilometers on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. Puri is a famous holy city and the site of the annual festival of the deity Jagannath and is one of the four Dhams (holy places) of Hinduism.
The official language of the state, spoken by the majority of the people is Oriya. Oriya belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. It is closely related to Bengali and Assamese. Orissa has such lovely places to offer to both, the tourists and the pilgrims. Since overcrowding has never been a problem with most of these places, barring the festive season, holiday-making can be really enjoyable and peaceful in Orissa. Situated in the bosom of nature, the picturesque fun spots of Orissa hold a prominent position in the tourist map of India.
