Buddhist Temples

Orissa is one of the states in India that abound in Buddhist sites and monuments. Right from the ancient rock edicts to the exquisitely carved stupas to the splendid Buddhist monasteries and temples, the state has it all. However, it was under the reign of Emperor Ashoka that Orissa became one of the major centers of Buddhism in the country. If you are planning to go on a tour of Orissa, make sure to visit all the major Buddhist pilgrim destinations in the state, such as Dhauli Hill, Lalitagiri, Udaigiri, etc.

Udaigiri
Udaigiri, along with Ratnagiri and Lalitagiri, forms the Buddhist Triangle in India. The city is situated in the state of Orissa and holds the distinction of being its largest Buddhist complex. Excavations are being carried out at the site by the Archaeological Survey of India, since quite a long time. More

Ratnagiri is a splendid Buddhist site that comes under the Jajpur district of Orissa. It is situated at a distance of approximately 100 km from Bhubaneswar and 70 km from Cuttack. The site, situated on a small hill, stands surrounded by rivers from all the sides. More
