Bhubaneswar, Jan 5: As many as 25 walkers gathered at the 10th Century Mukteshwar Temple for the first walk of the year in the Old Town. This group consisting of mostly locals and some visitors had a mixed bag of regular walkers and first timers. The walk started with the classical combination of flute and tabla. With the music filling the atmosphere, the tone set for the walk was jubilant. Today's walk brought such an experience for the walkers. Although most of them have earlier visited the same temples, the same heritage sites, they were awestruck to learn so much more about these places. The walkers also stopped by the dharamshalas of Old Town. The two prominent dharamshalas count their foundation day back to nearly 100 years. Sharing close to 60 rooms in between them, they offer the perfect place for visiting pilgrims and common folk alike. When the group reached near the Suka Sari Temple, they were astonished to learn that the relics that remain of the once monumental temple structure, was excavated as recently as three years . These remnants also bolster the popular legend that we were once the proud host to over seven thousand shrines.
