Bhubaneswar has been known by many names such as Toshali, Kalinga Nagari, Nagar Kalinga, Ekamra Kanan, otherwise known as the Temple City of India. Bhubaneswar literally means the Lord (Eeswar) of the Universe (Bhuban), a center of economic and religious importance in the region today. Bhubaneswar's possession of magnificent sculptures and architectural heritage make this one of the great religious centers of Orissa.
