Event Description : 'From the Shadow of a Capital City to a Cultural Capital: Rediscovering Old Bhubaneswar' Illustrated lecture by Dr. Sanghamitra Basu, Associate Professor, Architecture & regional Planning Department, IIT Kharagpur, and Member, National Monument Authority of India.
Bhubaneswar with its broad avenues dissecting the city into a grid iron pattern, was created by Otto Koenisberger with dreams and aspirations of a modern State Capital in post independent India. But Bhubaneswar is also the story of ancient India dating back as far as 3rd century B.C. The lecture offers an insight to this phenomenon of a living heritage town and its dichotomous existence.
