Bhubaneswar earns its title as the City of Temples honestly. The old city holds over 700 shrines built across a span of nearly a thousand years, representing one of the most concentrated expressions of Kalinga temple architecture anywhere in India. What makes it remarkable is not just the number but the quality: the Lingaraj Temple, still an active place of worship, and the Mukteshwar Temple, considered the gem of Odisha architecture, are masterpieces of stone carving and spatial design that reward careful, unhurried attention. Bhubaneswar tour packages from Aasaan Holidays are designed for travellers who want to go beyond the surface of this extraordinary city.
The Odisha State Museum holds one of the finest collections of Buddhist and Jain antiquities in eastern India. Dhauli, where Emperor Ashoka renounced war after the Kalinga battle and embraced Buddhism, sits just 8 kilometres from the city and carries a weight of historical significance that is difficult to overstate. Udayagiri and Khandagiri, the twin rock-cut Jain caves carved in the 2nd century BCE, are equally compelling. A Bhubaneswar sightseeing package that covers the temple circuit, the caves, and Dhauli makes for one of the most layered heritage days in eastern India.
