Odisha
Orissa, renamed Odisha in 2011, was once the kingdom of Kalinga. It lies on India’s northeast coast, on the Bay of Bengal.
The cultural wealth of the region dates back to ancient times. One of India’s great classical dances, the Odissi dance, originated here. Dance scenes among the bas-reliefs in the caves at Khandagiri and Udaygiri near Bhubaneswar show that dance was practiced in Odisha more than 2000 years ago.
Three famous sites form a “golden triangle” in southeast Odisha. They are Bhubaneshwar with its temples (the stunning legacy of the Kalinga kingdom), Konark with its unique sun temple, and Puri, one of India’s foremost pilgrimage centres.
