Overview
Bhubaneswar is known as the "Temple City of India" because of its many temples, including the 11th-century Lingaraja Temple. The city also has ruins of ancient shrines and cities, caves, and rock-cut inscriptions. From its majestic temples like Lingaraj and Mukteshwar to its markets and culinary delights, the city offers diverse experiences and an opportunity to learn about Odisha's rich culture. The temple is famous for its annual Ratha Yatra, or chariot festival, in which the three principal deities are pulled on huge and elaborately decorated raths, or temple cars. The worship is performed by the Bhil Sabar tribal priests, as well as priests of other communities in the temple.Unlike the stone and metal icons found in most Hindu temples, the image of Jagannath is made of wood, and is ceremoniously replaced every 12 or 19 years. It is also famous because many legends believe that Krishna's heart was placed here, and the material that it is made from damages the heart, so they have to change it every seven years.
