I had joined the Heritage walk by OTDC at 6 am near Lingaraj Temple and had the opportunity to watch Odissi dance by children at the residence of ileana Citaristi . The walk with 8 members led by eminent archeological researchers Jitu Mishrs & Rosalin Das of Bhubaneswar had begun from Ashta Sambhu Temple , had a cup of Tea in the fog filled morning and visited couple of temples on the route on the side of outer circle of lingaraj Temple before reaching the wonderful house of famous Odissi Dancer ileana Citaristi where we were fortunate to listen to ileana Citaristi on different dance forms and the richness of Odissi dance . The walk ended with delicious breakfast in a homely atmosphere Adjacent to Bindu Sagar .This walk has triggered in me to organise such valuable walks for children at Koraput as well .

I am grateful to the Divine Mother’s Grace for giving such an opportunity .
