Bhubaneshwar is the capital of  the Indian state of Orissa. The city  has a long history of over 2000  years starting with Chedi dynasty  (around 2nd century BCE) who had  Sisupalgarh near present-day  Bhubaneswar as their capital. Historically Bhubaneswar has been  known by different names  such as Toshali, Kalinga Nagari, Nagar Kalinga, Ekamra Kanan, Ekamra Kshetra and Mandira  Malini Nagari  "city of temples" otherwise known as the temple city  of India. The largest city of  Orissa, Bhubaneswar today is a  center of economic and religious  importance in the region.

Bhubaneswar's proud possession  of magnificent sculptures and  architectural heritage, coupled with  the sanctity as Ekamrakshetra  make this one of the great  religious  centres of Orissa since  early medieval days.
