Have feet will travel. An ex-development sector professional, Elita had a job but quit it to work to travel i.e. going where the road takes her and taking the road along (accompanied mostly by her wits). A compulsive blogger, trained counsellor and new-ish at being a facilitator, she considers herself a #multipotentialite. Elita blogs at https://nomadicthunker.blogspot.in/

The Odisha state museum has an excellently maintained collection, but it is the evolution of Odishan scripts at the Epigraphy section, the Patta paintings, and the Palm Leaf section that are guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on your mind. It offers a good overview of Indian, as well as Odishan heritage. The museum is open between 10 AM and 5 PM on all days except Monday.

The museum is located very close to the Odisha Tourism Development Corporation (OTDC) who organise sightseeing and packaged tours within and around Bhubaneshwar.
