IN THE SPOTLIGHT..

CENTER OF ATTRACTION

The importance of sports in life is magnificent. The focus and support provided to sports persons along with successfully organising international sporting events have made Bhubaneswar the sports capital of India. The center for all this has been the Kalinga stadium located in the city. This stadium has gained international reputation in recent years. 

Sports can be both indoor and outdoor. While Bhubaneswar is the sports capital organising events mostly of outdoor category, The twin city of Cuttack has been doing great in the indoor segment. The stadium in picture is the Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium. This is currently in the spotlight because of the on going Common wealth Table tennis tournament. This stadium is the jewel of cuttack that shines today with honor and pride of this heritage city.

International sporting events are quite spectacular. It provides a stage to showcase talent. For the host nation its an opportunity to showcase their culture and way of life.This not only ensures the flow of tourist but also has an impact on the visiting sports persons. They play and return home with memories of the unique place they had the opportunity to visit.

Deserted for most part of the year, this stadium remains in the heart of everyone in the city. This is located at the barabati fort complex which is the royal grounds from where once the whole of Kalinga was ruled. Such sporting events are a necessary to highlight the stadium and also for the people who can take pride of being host for the international crowd. Bhubaneswar has gained the title and being a twin city Cuttack is not left behind, it shows the glory of its past with the touch of modern times which makes it unique..Looking forward to more such events..Where Cuttack gets recognised for the heritage it is..
