Great news for smart city residents and travellers alike. The Heritage Cell of Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) is developing a website bhubaneswar.me, which will be a great tool for visitors and individuals planning to explore the city.
Spruced up with quality videos and photographs, the website will be an exceptional collage of stunning visuals to represent the city in a modern and smart perspective, along with all its the ancient and beautiful monuments prominently displayed with artistic touch and aesthetic balance in a dynamic (which keeps changing) mode.
Famous for its Hindu, Buddhist and Jain monuments, the City of Temples is popular among the travelers. Bhubaneswar’s image as a hub for international sports adds more and more events to its annual calendar. The BDA has decided to add this initiative to promote the happening destination on a more user friendly platform where the new-age tourists are becoming more tech savvy.
Sources at BDA confirm that the website would be ready to be unveiled during the World Hockey League, which will start on December 1 and continue till December 10 in Bhubaneswar.
The website would have all city-based information like heritage circuits, temples, parks and recreation, shopping (art, crafts and hi-fashion), getaways, tours and shows, museums and galleries, festivities, events and exhibitions, sports, all categories of hotels, restaurants, exclusive zones for Odia food, learning local cuisines and last but not the least, the history and genesis of the urban hub from historic city to modern day Smart City tag and basic information for visitors.
Besides the information on the city and its history, the website will also have 10 must see places, weather report, public transport information and emergency numbers for the immediate use of the prospective visitor.
In essence, the entire exercise is aimed to help a person get each and every data on the city at the click of a button, whether he is using a computer or mobile phone.
