Source: Wikipedia: India HistoryBhubaneswar, Bhubaneshwar or Bhuvanēśvar is the capital of Odisha and its largest city. The history of the areas in and around Bhubaneswar can be traced to 3rd century BCE and earlier. It is a confluence of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain heritage boasting of some of the finest Kalingan temples. With many 6th-13th century CE Hindu temples, which span the entire spectrum of Kalinga architecture, Bhubaneswar is often referred to as a “Temple City of India”.

For example, at Bhubaneswar there are various Sanskrit inscriptions at the mañchapurī cave on the Udayagiri Hill. There is also an inscription on a pedestal of an image of Padmapāṇi in the Provincial Museum which records the installation of the image by Rāhularuchi. It belongs to king Śubhākara of the Bhauma-Kara dynasty.
At Bhubaneśvar in Puri district (Orissa or Odisha) is also an inscription above the door of a ruined temple near the Pāpanāśinī tank. It belongs to king Kapileśvara of the Orissa Sūryavaṃśa dynasty.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
