Arranged on the life saver of
Odisha - River Mahanadi, this eleventh century Shiva Temple is associated with
the primary area by a noteworthy foot span. Voyage to this old sanctuary,
particularly the last 12 kms, where the street wanders according to the course
of the waterway bank, merits recalling.
Arriving: Located 50 kms toward
the north of Bhubaneswar, Dhabaleswar can be effectively come to through
Chowdwar (Cuttack area).
Best Time to Visit: The perfect
time to visit this spot is amid winters (November to February)
The Suspension Bridge: Built by
the Government of Odisha a couple of years back, this is the primary suspension
span in the state. An ostensible extra charge is charged to guarantee consistent
flood of income which helps in the occasional support of the structure.
Recompense has turned out to be
simple now as enthusiasts don't need to cross the stream by ship, however a few
individuals still favor the conduit. It has additionally prompted the opening
of various shops at the scaffold's passage helping the economy of the nearby
group. Lakhs of fans visit Dhabaleswar on the event of Maha Shivratri and other
noticeable celebrations. Amid this time, ship and speedboats are squeezed
without hesitation since just 2 persons are permitted on the extension on any
offered time to maintain a strategic distance from the danger of
over-burdening.
The stroll on the 2 meter wide
scaffold is intriguing. It influences a little toward the starting and it requires
a touch of investment to get used to the structure.The perspective of the quiet
Mahanadi from the footbridge is delightful particularly amid dusks where the
skyline of the stream transforms into a glimmering red streak.
The Temple: The sanctuary has
been as of late revamped which makes it troublesome for one to really figure it
as a revered structure. The appeal of the maturity sanctuary is totally lost
because of its new white washed outsides. The insides however, toss some light
on the medieval engineering. The premises are terrible and loaded with cow
fertilizer scattered everywhere throughout the complex.
Cooking: Visitors can experiment
with assortment of nearby food served by various merchants encompassing the
sanctuary complex. Dhabaleswar likewise gloats of offering the best Dahi Vada
(a nearby delicacy) in Odisha.
It's optimal to visit the
sanctuary in the last 50% of the day to witness the charming winter dusk. A few
picnickers can be discovered dillydallying along the banks of waterway amid
this time
Creator's View: As the dim
sundown gleam in the sky gradually blurred, I understood it's the ideal
opportunity for me to return. The one of a kind ordeal of the hanging span and
the beautiful environment win this place a one time visit notwithstanding for
the interminable agnostic.
