Emperor Ashoka, the great Mauryan King won the battle but upon seeing the bloodbath had a change of heart. He became a propagator of peace and had a big role in the spread of Buddhism in India.

The 5senses support team was amazing - organised the trip at the very last minute. Surya our guide was punctual and well informed .
He took us to the temples which were possible for us to see and was very knowledgable, pointing out many interesting carvings and other architectural details.
He made Udayagori a fantastic experience as he told us fascinating details of each cave.
Amazing day tour of Bhubaneswar

This was an amazing tour. Sarad was an extremely knowledgeable and gifted guide. Explained alot of the architecture, history and dynasties of the Kalinga kingdom. And the temples were simply breathtaking.
Would do this tour again if I could, there is so much to see!
Delightful learning experience

Visiting the dance studio, learning about classical Indian dance, and watching the dancers was the highlight of our trip to India thus far. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who is into the arts or dance.
