Bhubaneswar is the capital and largest city of the Indian state of Odisha, located in the Khordha district. The region, especially the old town, was historically often depicted as Chakra Kshetra and Ekamra Kshetra . Bhubaneswar is dubbed the “Temple City”, a nickname earned because of the 700 temples which once stood there. In contemporary times, it has emerged as an education and IT hub and an attractive business destination of Eastern India. Although the modern city of Bhubaneswar was formally established in 1948, the history of the areas in and around the present-day city can be traced to the 7th century BCE and earlier. It is a confluence of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain heritage and includes several Kalingan temples, many of them from 6th–13th century CE. With Puri and Konark it forms the “Swarna Tribhuja” (‘Golden Triangle’), one of Eastern India’s most visited destinations. Bhubaneswar is well connected with all cities of India and abroad by Air, Road, and Railway.
