The finesse and grandeur of Odisha's architecture is exhibited in its temples that the Aryans left behind. Some of them are among the finest in the country. Of these, the most important are the Lingaraja Temple, Bhubaneswar (11th century), Jagannath Temple at Puri (12th century) and the great Sun Temple at Konark (13th century). And hence, the golden triangle of Odisha - Bhubaneswar, Konark and Puri contributes the maximum amount of tourism goodwill. They are primary temples built in the style of 'Kalinga' architecture.
Jagannath Temple
The coastal town of Puri enshrines Lord Jagannath in this colossal temple. It is one of the Char Dham pilgrimages that one is expected to cover at least once in his lifetime. The temple is world-famous for its annual chariot festival or Rath Yatra.

FOOD IN ODDISA
Ingredients and Seasoning
The ingredients used in Odia cuisine are typical - plantains, jackfruit, and raw papaya. The curries are garnished with tamarind and dried raw mango also called 'Ambula' in Odia. Coconut is also used in several dishes. 'Pancho phutana' is a blend of five spices, which is widely used in Odiya cuisine. It contains mustard, cumin, fenugreek, aniseed and kalonji.
Local Influence
The food in the region around Puri-Cuttack is greatly influenced by the Jagannath Temple. On the other hand, kalonji and mustard paste are used mostly in the region bordering Bengal, and curries tend to be sweeter. In the region closer to Andhra Pradesh, curry leaves and tamarind are used more. My hometown Brahmapur region has influences of South Indian Cuisine, and the Telegu speaking audiences living in Odisha have re-invented some new Odia dishes
Various temples in region make their own offerings to the presiding deities.
