This place has a lot of brands to choose from and there is a food court with a lot of eateries and a gaming arcade. Also there is a chilli's outlet in the food court. Theres loads of parking space and escalators to enter the mall from the parking. Love visiting this mall as there are a few brands which you will only get here.

Fell in love rather rose in love upon reaching and experiencing Bhubhaneshwar,-Odisha, its architecture, religious psyche, the people.No less was my experience at this Iconic Lingaraj Temple.Being a ritualistic worshipper myself of almost all the traditions including the Vaishnavite and Shaivite tradition, am well versed the sacred hyms and articles of worship to be offered to the respective dieties.This was the only Temple from over ten thousand temples I have visited throughout India,Which not only allowed but celebrated the Worship of these 2 cosmic wielders of forces of Nature,I.e: sattva and tamoguna with their respective articles of significance -Tulsi leaves to Lord Narayana,and Bilva Leaves for Lord Shiva with their respective hyms.thiroughly enjoyed the ritual and time spent at the sanctum sanctorum thoroughly.Here also bought aswellas donated a Flag that would be hoisted atop of the Temple.Great Temple,Loved it thoroughly.

I have seen chausathi (64) yogini temple one at Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh and this is another one. But astonishingly the structure of both these temples are quite similar. This temple is in Hirapur village some 20 kms from Bhubaneswar towards Puri. But if you go by Tankapani Road through Sai Temple, after crossing the daya river bridge this village is there. The temple is also in outskirt of the village.It is not a favorite place for tourists, so you can admire its beauty peacefully. Only one goddess is worshiped here, though there are 63 remaining there. Indeed a small but beautiful place.

You must be stunned when u visit this temple. In South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, we pray the almighty in the form of statue. But here, Shiva lingams and Snake structured Deities are present everywhere. The architecture and Gardening are the huge attraction of this temple. Don't Miss It. Otherwise u r the looser. 2 Hours and Evening are Best.

Odisha is home to the maximum number of tribes - 62. Just spend 2-3 hours in this museum and you will get to know a lot about them. The best thing is they have a good AV kiosk. My son just freaked out on that. He developed a lifelong interest in tribal life in 3 hours. They also have a souvenir shop and a book shop. Book shop is really good. A must-visit for children aged 7-14

This is one of the famous temples in Bhubhaneshwar with a beautiful arch in the front and one of the few temples with a carved ceiling of the garbha Griha. The carving outside is just so delicate and the temple is charming made in the 10th cent CE.

Nicely maintained by ASI but used as a lovers park by the locals.Near Dhauli . Interesting that Ashoka has stressed morality in all his commandments.
