Places on the way from Puri to Bhubaneshwar
Walls in Puri are painted with scenes and art:
The artistan village of Peepli:
Dhauli -
Shanti Stupa
And finally Bhubaneshwar and the lingaraj temple ("tempul" as the locals pronounce it). A beautifully old temple, but people do try to extort here too in extremely sneaky ways...
There are 1 lakh temples in Bhubaneshwar....we had enough with just one!!!
We spent a day shopping for "odisha" sarees and eating chat in Bhubaneshwar....
Finally Bombay....and the rickshaw extortion racket.....in cahoots with the "vigilance officer" who was openly discussing with autowallahs and encouraging them to stick to their jacked up prices....

The place where the bloody battle was fought.....there was so much massacre that the river(seen in the pic) was colored with blood.....Finally this is where Asoka realised the futility of war.....
