'''[[Bhubaneswar]]''' is the capital of the [[States and territories of India|Indian state]] of [[Orissa, India|Orissa]], officially spelled ''Odisha''. The city has a long history of over 2000 years starting with Chhedi 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''. Bhubaneswar, literally means the Lord (Eeswar) of the Universe (Bhuban).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mustseeindia.com/Bhubaneswar |title=BHUBANESWAR Travel Guide |work=mustseeindia.com |year=2012 |quote=Bhubaneswar , Orissa |accessdate=2 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225123639/http://www.mustseeindia.com/Bhubaneswar |archive-date=25 February 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> It is the largest city of Orissa, and a center of economic & religious importance in the region today.<br />
<br />
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.<ref name="R. P. Mohapatra, Page 47">[[Ramesh Prasad Mohapatra]], ''Archaeology in Orissa'', Vol I, Page 47, B. R. Publishing Corporation, Delhi, 1986, {{ISBN|81-7018-346-4}}</ref> With its large number of Hindu temples (over 600 in number), which span the entire spectrum of [[Kalinga architecture]], Bhubaneswar is often referred to as a ''Temple City of India'' and together with [[Puri]] and [[Konark]] it forms the ''Swarna Tribhuja'' (Golden Triangle); one of the most visited destinations in East India.<br />
<br />
The modern city of Bhubaneswar was designed by the German architect [[Otto Königsberger]] in 1946. Like [[Jamshedpur]], [[Chandigarh]], it is one of the first planned cities of modern India.<ref>[http://www.studio-basel.com/assets/files/files/04_atlas_web.pdf Planned Cities in India]</ref> With the [[Chandaka Elephant Sanctuary|Chandaka]] reserve forest on the fringes, the city with an abundance of in-city greenery and an efficient civic body (the BMC- Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation), is one of the cleanest and greenest cities of India.<br />
<br />
Bhubaneswar replaced [[Cuttack]] as the political capital of the state of Orissa in 1948, a year after India gained its independence from [[United Kingdom|Britain]]. Bhubaneswar and [[Cuttack]] are often commonly together known as the '''twin-cities''' of Orissa. The metropolitan area formed by the twin cities has a 2011 population of 1.4 million.<ref>[http://www.orissalinks.com/bigfiles/Draft%20Proposal_CDP%20BDPA-2008/Pre%20Content/Preface.pdf Preface of the Comprehensive Development Plan for the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Urban Complex]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&men=gcis&lng=en&dat=80&geo=-104&srt=npan&col=aohdq&msz=1500&pt=a&va=x&srt=pnan |title=world-gazetteer |accessdate=2011-11-06 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20130105180023/http://www.world-gazetteer.com/wg.php?x=&men=gcis&lng=en&dat=80&geo=-104&srt=npan&col=aohdq&msz=1500&pt=a&va=x&srt=pnan |archivedate=5 January 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Bhubaneswar is categorized as a [[Tier 2 cities in india|Tier-2]] city.
