Situated
northeast of the city of Cuttack, the three hills of Ratnagiri, Lalitagiri
and Udaygiri indicate an immense Buddhist monastic complex. The temple
city of Bhubaneswar is not only meant for the pilgrims but also for the
archeologists to note down the personified perfection of the temple
architecture. Beside, the most recent excavated sites of Langudi and
Hirapur brought out some facts regarding the influence of Buddhism and
Yogini cult in Orissa in the primitive times.
