The
tropical state of Orissa lies along the eastern seaboard of India, south
of Bengal.
Its main attractions are the temples of the capital Bhubaneswar,
the long sandy beach at Puri and the great Sun Temple at Konark.
These
three sites make a convenient and compact triangle. Orissa is predominantly
rural, with fertile green coastal plains rising to the hills of Eastern
Ghats. The state is mineral rich and is a big exporter of iron ore, with
a large factory at Rourkela. The Oriyas, 25% of whom are indigenous tribal
peoples, are particularly friendly and hospitable.
