Trip photos - Orissa and Kolkata







We took many splendiferous photos of the Konarak temple. Also of the erotic sculptures -- write to me if you want them !!



Buddhist cave dwellings at Udayagiri and Khandagiri, Bhubaneswar



I gave gyan about the Portal to the students of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar. The insitute's main specialization is Rural Management, which is pretty cool.





Buddhist remains near Konarak. The bricks in the closeup are from the original construction.







Horses at the Kolkata Maidan. Looking the other way, the Victoria Memorial.




The "Peace Pagoda", Bhubaneswar






The Bhubaneswar airport was decorated with the traditional local craftwork. It worked so well. While all airports strive for modern clean sophisticated looks, this work adds such an original attractive touch, and at so little cost.

Doesnt seem very crowded - is it the camera angle?
