Konark
Konark, also known as "Arka-Tirtha", is known for its temple
of Lord Surya, the sun god. It is situated on the seashore,
33-km north of Puri and 64-km from Bhubaneswar. It was
constructed of black stone in the beginning of the 13th
century, and it is considered one of the most vivid
architectural showpieces of Hindu India. Despite the fact
that the 'Black Pagoda' is in ruins, the remaining porch
area and other structures of this temple complex remain as a
crown jewel of Orissan artwork.
Bhubaneswar
Bhubaneshwar is
essentially a town of Temples and tanks, with the majestic
Lingaraja temples dominating the landscape for miles around.
Though many of the shrines have long succumbed to the
destructive forces of nature, standing ones of various sizes
even now exist literally in hundreds. The overwhelming
sanctity of 'Ekamrakshetra' led the rulers and the ruled,
actuated by the hope of an eternal abode in heaven, to vie
with one another in embellishing the sacred place with
temples of all dimensions.The history of Bhubaneswar and its
environs goes back much earlier than the 7th century A.D.,
which first witnessed the feverish zeal of temple building.
It is one of the few places in India, which have the rare
distinction of having archaeological remains almost from the
dawn of the historical period down to the end of the Hindu
rule.
Puri
The
holy city of Puri is located 60-km from Bhubaneswar on the
coast of the Bay of Bengal. It is one of the four holy
dhamas of India - Puri, Dwarka, Rameswaram and Badrinath .
It is considered that a pilgrimage of the temples of India
is not complete without making the journey to Puri.
Puri is called "Sri Purusottama Dham" or "Martya Vaikuntha",
the abode of Lord Vishnu on earth. Other names are "Sriksetra"
(best of all sacred centers), "Purusottama Ksetra" (the
abode of the supreme being), "Nilachal", "Nalagiri", "Sankha
Ksetra", and "Jagannatha Dhama". Puri is about 2-km wide and
4-km long.
