Handi crafts exhibition was on in the Toshali grounds of Bhubaneswar.It was happened in the month of December (2017) last week. Motivated by none other than myself  to be there while roaming in Bhubaneswar.Stalls came from many states of our country. 

The prime attraction was showcasing the way how the Sambalpur ikat sarees and other related fabrics being made at the production places.Lot of leaves,mulberry insects and other things were there for the purpose of demonstration,of course textiles can also be seen.Some people were having clicks of the same.Visitors gathered in large numbers here and there to purchase and  getting seen over there.

This was the welcome arch through which visitors entered the place of stalls.Selfies and photos were common phenomena.There were cultural activities all along the days of exhibition.All age groups turned up here and one kind of festival ambiance prevailed with junk food outlets to satiate the taste buds of people.

Our world Tuesday

Another interesting feature that has been noticed was there was board nearby this temple which reads as this.A club established in sixties and it seems there was some reading room in this.Clicked out of interest towards its entity.

Bhubaneswar : Kedareswara temple

Recently,I happened to be at the temple of Sri Kedareswara of Bhubaneswar.Don't like to describe the history of it as it's very famous for its construction skills and a bit to add to this picture.And this is not the first time visiting it.Whenever I have a chance to go over this place,always try to be there to have some time there.Because,there was no priest or any persuasion for money,Just a series of  splendid constructions and lingering thoughts of past artisans as to how greatly erected these intricate designs studded temples such a long back with that accurate precision.

Peaceful ambiance all over though which was located in the heart of city.Bhubaneswar is a city of many surprises.Full of temples.Yet a bustling one.And comparatively a neat and happening place in many respects.The red sand got it's ultimate designs which only to be considered the signature of Orissa.    

Year : 2018

The Oriya calender display the year 2018,hanging amidst the other publications was clicked at  Bhubaneswar Railway station.There were many papers and other materials not covered as preferred to have the picture of yearly calender.Almost every state has its own calender with the depiction of local customs and names they given for the months.Though they follow internationally accepted dates and months.

Wanderlust

What we get out of our wanderlust...Everything that will be useful and beautiful,here this picture seen was taken during my journey of Rayagada,Odisha.The sluggish hillocks with clouds seem as if it was the part of the distant sky.The flowing river with greenery on its banks adding further beauty to the landscape,by having rounds to the varied places we could see such kind of fascinating pictures.They imprint in our minds,and lenses capture for permanent remembrance.

Rice gravy recipe

In recent days, I happened to taste a new delicacy when I was in Odisha state (Rayagada), that too attending  a meet where some like minded people gathered for the lunch.There was a big dish ,from where some people were helping a white color grave like thing,on seeing,me too tried it with half filling of my glass.Never had seen or tasted it before,that was like rice grave with mixing corns judiciously.Helped it myself with a spoon,that was very hot to take it more,not so bad.Neither spicy nor with oil.

Tempted to have inquired about its name,but postponed my idea as I have run for the principal diet as there was a beeline in front of the serving place,however , clicked it for my future blog post.
