the best in the country.

The staging of the National Billiards and Snooker Championships in 1996 at the Club, followed by organising of the world Billiards Championship the following

year put the Club on the international map.

The Club has become the brand name for promoting arts, culture and sports. The entertainment and recreational events of the Club for the past ten years

have attracted attention all over the country, specially the New Year Eve events having giant replicas of the Taj Mahal, The Titanic, The Pyramids, etc. as

backdrops in the New Years Eve Celebrations of the Club year after year in continuum. Currently, the replica of The Nina (One of the ships which Christopher

Columbus used for his voyage to America) has been elected to serve as a backdrop in the New Years Eve Celebration on the 31st December 2003. A 15th

Century Bar has been built inside the ship for use of the visiting Members.

The Club has acquired 5 acres of land adjacent to the Golf Course for setting up a COUNTRY CLUB with all modern facilities. The proposed Country Club of

Bhubaneswar Club will provide all Club facilities to the members and golfers.

The saga of progress of the Club, emerging as one of the prime Clubs in India, could be possible in last decade with the lead taken by a few supported by all

the Club members and the staff.

The quest for progress of the Club never ends and it will go on and on.

ABOUT BHUBANESWAR

Bhubaneswar Help Line

Bhubaneswar, the capital of Orissa, is also popularly known as the "Temple City of India". Being the seat of Tribhubaneswar or

'Lord Lingaraj', Bhubaneswar is an important Hindu pilgrimage centre. Hundreds of temples dot the landscape of the Old Town,

which once boasted of more than 2000 temples. Bhubaneswar is the place where temple building activities of Orissan style

flowered from its very inception to its fullest culmination extending over a period of over one thousand years.

The new Bhubaneswar with its modern buildings and extensive infrastructure perfectly complements its historic surroundings.

With facilities to cater to every type of visitor, Bhubaneswar makes an ideal tourist destination.

Some of the important temples of Bhubaneswar are: the temples of Laxmaneswar, Satrughaneswar and Bharateswar (c. 6th

century A.D.), Parsurameswar and Swarnajaleswar (c. 7th century A.D.), Vaital (c. 8th century A.D.), Mukteswar (c. 10th century A.D.), Brahmeswar,

Rajarani and Lingaraj (c. 11th century A.D.) and Ananta Vasudeva (c. 13th century A.D.). Orissa state Museum, Tribal Museum & Handicrafts House.The

other attractions of the city include Orissa State Museum, Tribal Research Museum on CRP Square and Kalanagar at Gandanumda ; Ekamra Kanan

housing the biggest Rose Garden of Asia ; Pathani Samanta Planetarium and BDA Nicco Park.


35/43

Approach : Bhubaneswar is well connected by air, rail and road to the rest of India. The modern Biju

Patnaik airport is being extended to receive wide bodied aircraft, and one may well see international

charters landing here soon.

Best time to visit : Bhubaneswar can be visited round the year, but the ideal time, especially for visitors

from colder climes, would be from October to March.

Handicrafts of the Region :Silver filigree, Stone and Wood carving, Patta paintings, Tie and Dye textiles, bamboo basketry, brass and bell

metal work, horn work, and many other famous handicrafts of Orissa can be selected as souvenirs from the local markets. Purchases can be

made from Utkalika (run by the Department of Handicrafts) or at the many privately run shops.

The twin hills of Kumargiri and Kumarigiri known as Khandagiri and

Udaygiri contain varieties of rock-cut caves, built mainly for the jain

monks around 1st - 2nd century B.C.#The thirteen years lithic record

of King Kharavela engraved in Hatigumpha (elephant cave) is a

magnificent specimen of Pali records so far found in India.

Khandagiri and Udaygiri

Cactus Garden

Cactus garden situated close to the 'Ekamara Kanan' in Bhubaneswar,the Cactus Garden, with its huge collection of Cactii should not be

missed.

Places around Bhubaneswar

Dhauli

(8 km)*

Surrounded by paddy fields, the Dhauli hill brings back

memories of the historic 'Kalinga war' which was fought

around here. It is here that Ashoka, the terrible, was

transformed into Ashoka, the compassionate and

championed the cause of Buddhism. On the foot of the hill

one can see the Rock Edicts of Ashoka and the forepart of a

skillfully sculpted elephant hewn out of a huge rock. Dhauli

has gained prominence due to the establishment of a

Buddhist Peace Pagoda, popularly known as Shanti Stupa,

built in the early seventies by the Japan Buddha Sangha and

Kalinga Nippon Buddha Sangha. An old temple of LordDhavaleswar, reconstructed in 1972, also stands on the hill-

top.

Sisupalgarh

Just two km from the famed Lingaraj Temple of

Bhubaneswar lie the ruins of Sisupalgarh. Dating back to the

third or fourth century BC, these ruins show that even at


40/43

that early date there was a well fortified city here, and

establish the fact that the Orissan civilization has very

ancient roots.

Hirapur

(15 km)*

Hirapur has the 11th century Hypaethral temple of sixty four

Yoginis. It is second of its kind in Orissa and one of four such

unique temples in India.

Atri

(42 km)*

Situated amidst greenery and famous for the hot sulphur

water spring, Atri, 42 km. from Bhubaneswar and 14 km.

from Khurda, is also a holy place with the shrine of

Hatakeswar. A bath in the spring water is reputed to cure

skin diseases apart from being a pleasant experience.

Nandankanan(20 km)*

Picturesquely carved out of the Chandaka forest,

Nandankanan is a Biological Park where animals are kept in

their natural habitat. A centrally located lake divides the Zoo

from the Botanical Gardens. Tigers, Lions, Clouded

Leopards, Black Panthers, European Brown Bear, Himalayan

Black Bear, Gharials, Rosy Pelican, Grey Pelican, Indian

Python, King Cobra, etc. are among the attractions of the

zoo, which is famous for its White Tigers. The exotic

Botanical Garden on the other side of the zoo preserves

varieties of indigenous plants. Regular bus services are

available to reach the place.
