 About Bhubaneswar:
 
 The state of Orissa, of which Bhubaneswar is the capital, is located in
 the eastern part of India between Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. There are
 convenient air and surface transportation to Bhubaneswar. The area offers a
 number of fascinating activities for visitors: many historic shrines built
 by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains; a range of handicrafts and handwoven
 textiles, and opportunities for enjoying the distinctive art forms of this
 region. The areas around Bhubaneswar have several major attractions. The
 magnificent Sun Temple of Konark (known to generations of sailors as Black
 Pagoda) is internationally renowned. 
 Puri and Konark -- both within 30 miles of Bhubaneswar --
 have beautiful beaches,
 and the Chilika Lake (about 60 miles from Bhubaneswar), 
 the largest brackish water inland lake in Asia,
 abounds with migratory birds and many varieties of fish. Close to
 Bhubaneswar is the Chandaka Forest, a sanctuary for wild elephants, and
 Nandankanan Zoological Park, a botanical garden that includes the largest
 lion and tiger safari in India. The Udayagiri and Khandagiri hills at the
 outskirt of the city have a network of man-made caves dating from the first
 century B.C. Presently, Bhubaneswar offers a great promise to IT industries
 enthused by several liberalisation policies of local government. Some
 nationaly renowned IT industries have started operating from the city.
 It is the fastest growing city in the eastern coast of India.
