City Beautiful 'Bhubaneswar'

Cyclone 'Fani' did hit the city when it was looking at its infrastructural best and smashed the 'Smart City'

Speed Cameras in Bhubaneswar, Odisha

The good strange thing I noticed this time in Bhubaneswar is, there are speed sensors and cameras installed at few places. These show the approaching vehicle's actual time speed and there are cameras set to get the snap shot of the rear licence plate of the vehicle. Seems like the effect of smart-city. This particular one in the picture has been installed on NH-5, between Vanivihar Square and Rasulgarh Square. Also did notice one in-front of Capital Hospital, the road approaching Biju Patnaik International Airport. Though I am not sure if these are being used for sending tickets for over-speeding, but it is for sure that it is creating some awareness and some sort of fear among the speed crazy people.

The Temple Kitchen

The 13th century 'Ananta Basudeva Temple' is considered as only Bishnu Temple in the city of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. It is believed that Lord Vishnu established himself as the doorkeeper of the city by the order of Lord Shiva. The food prepared in this temple kitchen is considered as 'holy food' and is called 'Maha Prasad'.
The food is cooked on these earthy pots on wood fire directly with all ingredients mixed precisely. The prasad is truly divine in taste and a must try if you are in Bhubaneswar.

Bhubaneswar: Morning Vegetable Market

Today morning, while being in Bhubaneswar, randomly I decided to capture the Sun rise in a temple premise. On my way back, I found this street vegetable market and could not resist to take the camera out again and captured the freshness of life here in this beautiful city, most importantly the warm of people around. Had such a good time interacting with vegetable sellers, seeing all the fresh vegetables, knowing the name of some leaf vegetables, exchanging smiles with buyers and these beautiful photographs during the process... my day is made. For quite sometime I was away from here (3 years really :O), but now I am back and should show you more such glimpses regularly. Have a great day :)
