The lap of Odisha bears the embroidery of many culture and religions. Though the
path of development has improved many
things in this state, but the people of Odisha still pay parallel importance to the different traditions
that has been running over ages. In a
similar way Buddhism , the fourth largest religion of the world has its own
space and respect in this state. There
are many Buddhist heritages in Odisha. Dhauligiri, Ratnagiri , Udayagiri,
Lalitagiri, Lagundi hills are the best of Odisha Buddhist tour.
Dhauligiri or Dhauli hills is located 8 km from
Bhubaneswar near Daya river , which
turned red from bloodshed of Kalinga
war. The realization of loss from war transformed the king from
Chanda Ashoka to Dharma Ashoka. On the top of the hill a dazzling Peace Pagoda
has been built by Japan Buddha Sangha and Kalinga Nippon Budhha Sangha. Rock edicts , sculptures of Buddha,
stupas , pillars are the remains from Kalinga era which can be witnessed here.
Ratnagiri , Udayagiri and Lalitagiri are mostly referred to
as the “Diamond Triangle of Odisha”. These
hills were once Buddhist monasteries and now the excavations made here
makes it an important archeological site. The excavations of the remains prove
that the ruins belong to 5 th century.
Large Buddha sculptures, big and small stupas, sculptures of green
granite, Buddha heads of different
sizes, many rooms , podiums and
structures make it the biggest
Buddhist trail of Odisha.
