Stay at a guesthouse close to railway station. It was 26th January , Republic day and one of the most wired things we came across was in the entire city all the petrol pumps were closed.

Note : on 26th January as well as 15th August, being a public holiday all the petrol pumps in the city are closed so better do your arrangements beforehand.

We were lucky enough to get a cab who was ready to take us around. Just one day we had here so we wanted to visit some famous as well as the unexplored places. First in the list comes Konark temple, declared as world heritage site a unique and a wondrous piece of architecture.
