The tour begins in Bhubaneswar, known as the Temple City of India. The city reflects centuries of architectural brilliance through its beautifully preserved temples built in classic Kalinga style. The Lingaraj Temple stands as a powerful symbol of devotion and craftsmanship, while Mukteshwar and Rajarani Temples showcase delicate carvings and refined stonework. A visit to Dhauli Shanti Stupa adds historical depth, marking the transformation of Emperor Ashoka after the Kalinga War.

Designed as a colossal stone chariot, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is admired for its detailed carvings that depict mythology, celestial beings, and daily life from ancient times.
