So, what do we buy from this temple metropolis Contrary to other temple towns, Bhubaneswar has much more to offer as specialties. It is famous for silver filigree, stone and wood carving, patta paintings, tie and dye textiles, bamboo basketry, brass and bell metal work, horn work. It is advisable to make the purchases from Utkalika (run by the Department of Handicrafts) or from any authorised private shops. While here, do check out the Ekamra Haat. Located near the exhibition ground, this is yet another place where you can pick up indigenous trade and handicrafts.
