The Crown, Bhubaneswar - IHCL SeleQtions

The city's largest, 180-ft tall shrine represents the peak of Kalinga architecture. Called ‘the finest example of Hindu temples in India’ by 19th century Scottish architectural historian James Fergusson. It is one of the oldest and most revered temples in Odisha, dedicated to two deities, Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Commissioned in the 11th century by King Jajati Keshari, the sacred site has a swayambhu (self-manifested) shivalinga.

LINGARAJ TEMPLE

Carved into sandstone hills overlooking the city, this ensemble of 32 caves was excavated by King Kharavela of the 2nd century Mahamegavahana dynasty which ruled the ancient Kalinga kingdom (present-day Odisha). They offer visitors a glimpse into the lives of Jain monks and scholars. The largest and most attractive cave is double-storied Rani Gumpha, said to have been the living quarters of the queen of King Lalatendu Kesari.

UDAYAGIRI AND KHANDAGIRI CAVES

Organically designed within a forest, the first zoo in the world to breed white tigers and organise white tiger safaris, houses its residents in spacious enclosures which replicate their natural habitat. It is also the only conservation breeding centre of Indian Pangolins in the world, the first to breed endangered gharials in captivity and the second-largest heronry for Asian openbill storks in Odisha.. The adjoining botanical park, set beside Kanjia Lake, houses many rare species of plants and trees.

NANDANKANAN ZOO AND BOTANICAL GARDEN

This 10th century shrine is known as the ‘Gem of Odisha’ for its remarkable Kalinga-era architecture, sculpture work and intricate carvings. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the red sandstone, 35-feet temple is famous for its elaborately decorated arched-shaped gateway (torana). It hosts the annual Mukteswara Dance Festival in January, celebrating Odissi,one of India’s oldest dance forms.

MUKTESHWAR TEMPLE

Also known as Peace Pagoda, this modern landmark was built in 1972 by the Japan Buddha Sangha and the Kalinga Nippon Buddha Sangha on the site where the Kalinga war  - regarded as one of the bloodiest wars in human history -  was fought. The stupa commemorates the mission of peace achieved after that historical turning point when Emperor Ashoka renounced adopted Buddhism with the philosophy of dharma-vijaya (victory through righteousness), resulting in over 40 years of peace and stability. The white, gold-accented structure is adorned with stone panels depicting Buddha’s footprints, the Bodhi tree and an image of Ashoka placing his sword before Buddha. The site hosts the annual Kalinga Dhauli Mahotsav, a three-day classical dance and music  festival, typically held in February.

DHAULI SHANTI STUPA

Established in 1932, the museum houses Odisha’s premier collection of archaeological artifacts and sculptures across 11 sections including Anthropology, Numismatics, Geology and a dedicated Armoury section. It has one of the world’s largest repositories of ancient palm-leaf manuscripts covering subjects like literature, science and philosophy and ancient currency. Visitors can also browse a unique Epigraphy Gallery and an arts and craft section showcasing pattachitra paintings, textiles and metalwork.


ODISHA STATE MUSEUM

Known as the Temple City of India, Bhubaneswar is home to centuries-old architectural marvels. From the Lingaraj Temple to Udayagiri and Khandagiri caves, the city offers deep cultural and historical insights. Its proximity to Puri and Konark further enriches the experience, making it a gateway to Odisha’s heritage.
