 Bhubaneswar "The Lord of the Universe" is also commonly known as the "Temple City of India" on account of its many temples in the excessive Orissan style. Being the seat of Shiva or Tribhubaneswar "Lord of the Three Worlds", from which the city derives its name, Bhubaneswar is an important Hindu pilgrimage centre. Hundreds of temples dot the landscape of the Old Town, which once boasted of more than 2000 temples. Bhubaneswar is the place where temple building activities of Orissan style flowered from its very inception to its fullest culmination extending over a thousand years.
Contemporary Bhubaneswar is delightfully rural for a state capital that administers the affairs of 25 million Orissans. Bhubaneswar with its modern buildings and widespread infrastructure perfectly complements its historic background. With facilities to cater to every type of visitor, Bhubaneswar makes an ideal tourist destination.
