2.0 About Bhubaneshwar

The history of the city stretches back over 2000 years. The area first appears as the ancient capital of

Kalinga. Bhubaneshwar India, the 'city of temples', named after Tribhuvaneswar, 'Lord of Three

Worlds', still preserves over 500 of India's finest temples, around which the religious life of the city

revolves.

Mythological references and the

epigraphic sources describe the area

as Ekamra Kshetra and Saiva Pitha. In

1936, the Odisha (Orissa)) became a

separate province with Cuttack as

its Capital, which was eventually

changed to Bhubaneswar in 1956.

Together with Puri and Konark, Bhuba-

neswar forms the 'golden triangle'--one of the most visited destinations in East India, for its proud

possession of magnificent sculpture and majestic architectural heritage.

Bhubaneswar is located on the coastal plains of Odisha, south-west of the River Mahanadi. It experi-

ences typical tropical weather conditions, and succumbs to the heat and cold waves that sweep in

from north India.

The summer months from March to May are hot and humid, and temperatures often shoot past 40°

C in May. The south west monsoon lashes Odisha in June, bringing relief to the parched environs of

Bhubaneswar. July and August receive the maximum rainfall, which may average over 220 mm a

month.

Pleasant weather conditions prevail during November in Bhubaneswar, but December and January

face the chilly winds from the North North-east at average speeds of 7 miles/hour. Temperatures

drop to approximately 15° C during these months.

The temple is an important pilgrimage destination for many Hindu

Traditions, particularly worshippers of Krishna and Vishnu, and part of the

Even though most Hindu deities that are worshiped are made out of stone

or metal, the image of Jagannath is wooden. Every twelve years these

wooden figures are ceremoniously replaced by using sacred trees that have

to be carved as an exact replica. The reason behind this ceremonial tradi-

tion is the highly secret Navakalevara ('New Body' or 'New Embodiment')

ceremony, an intricate set of rituals that accompany the renewal of the

wooden statues.
