INTRODUCTION
District
Head Quarter and center for Handloom Textile.If any where nature reveals its
enigmatic charisma, then it is here at the district of Bolangir. A district of
evergreen forests thronged with colourful wildlife and the cradle for humanity
from its infancy from Paleolithic and Neolithic period of history, Bolangir
has its own appeal for the nature-loving tourists.
Known as south-kosala from the time of the Ramayana, its soil has been
swept by the cross currents of culture giving rise to Sahajayana of Laxmikara
and the seven maidens who excelled in esoteric practices. The unspoilt
antiquities with their mystery and enchantment as in Ranipur-Jharial, the
limitless panorama of scenic splendour of the Gandhamardhan hills bejewelled
with waterfalls as in Harisankar and the ravishing beauty of the river
Mahanadi at dawn and dusk especially in winter have carved out a niche for
Bolangir district in the grand hall of Orissan tourism.With the assistance of
the local Tourist Officer, who is always at service of tourists, the visit to
Bolangir will be a rewarding experience.
