Unbelievably maintained.

This trip to Orissa came unplanned though but was a blessing...

An awesome trip to know various facts about the Puri, Cuttuck, Bhubaneswar (i keep on forgetting how to spell it) .. The pandas of the Jagannath temple .. those unbelievalbe dacoits who would loot people, snatch money at every corner of the temple.. you don't know when a hand will come and pull you to ask(beg/snatch) money .. freaking dirty and these have tourism as the only source of income i believe...

Thereafter the Konark Sun temple .. I would never forget the historical facts as explained by our guide.. Consists of more than 80% kama sutra inscribed on the temple walls (only the walls remain now.. the main temple and inside is ruined now..). Awesome reasons for these inscriptions.. killing of all the brave warriors in the war of Kalinga and the remaining ones becoming saints after facing the atrocities and brutalities of an unusually long terrific war. The king fearing the growth of next generations due to the lack of men in the society got these temples inscribed with these to arouse the feelings of those who ex-warriors. I really don't know how true.. but the 800 year old facts do tell us that our ancestors in India were far more sexually advanced than anybody else, dieties enjoying lesbian, animal sex, etc. and lot of other holy shit !!

And to the other extreme there is Nandankanan wild life century which appeared to me as unbelievably maintained with 30-40 leopards, equal tigers,lions, etc. separate huge ponds for the hippos and the rhino. Hundreds of other species in the zoo .. those rare ones ..but well maintained and clean .. nice and governement has to be congratulated for something after visiting this... I love plastic free zones.
