Odisha Essentials

Odisha’s cultural landscape is anchored by the 13th-century Konark Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its intricate stone carvings, and the sacred Jagannath Temple in Puri. The region's natural diversity is showcased at Chilika Lake, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon, and the Nandankanan Zoological Park. Architectural history continues with the 7th-century Parsurameswara Temple, while the coastal areas of Chandrabhaga and Satpada offer sightings of Irrawaddy dolphins and views of the Bay of Bengal.
