My mother and I have always had that soft corner for the very famous “Ikat sarees” of Odisha. It was just a regular Sunday morning, that my mother said that she felt like going out of Delhi. Anywhere out of Delhi. It was then that I proposed the plan of going to Bhubaneswar, go see some bxeautiful temples and buy lots of Ikat sarees.
I could have booked the flight tickets right away but we both missed traveling by train. Hence, I thought of taking a chance to book the train tickets in “ tatkal”. And voila! Next morning I got what I tried for. Two train tickets for Cuttack for the day after.
Upon reaching Cuttack, we checked into the hotel that I had already booked for us. It really seemed a nice hotel among all the hotels in Cuttack near the railway station. To my surprise, the rooms were extremely nice. Actually, the decor of the whole hotel was beautiful. The front desk was very helpful to guide through some nice touristic spots. My mother and I enjoyed The Lingaraja Temple of Bhubaneswar. The other temple that we found very beautiful was the Mukteshwar Temple. We were glad that the person at the front desk had arranged for our transportation too, which made our hopping from one place to another easy. After the two days touristic hopping, it was time for the ikat saree shopping, which we enjoyed the most.
Our three-day stay at this beautiful hotel, which was the Mango hotel was fabulous. It is one of the best hotels in Bhubaneswar, without any doubt.
