Odisha is home to a number of illustrious Buddhist structures and places. Lalitgiri, which is situated between the valleys of the two rivers Birupa and Chitrotpala, is one of them. The oldest of the three Buddhist Diamond Triangle monasteries, as they are known in this state, is also known as Naltigiri.
Udayagiri, the largest location in the BDT trio, is another draw. It is located between the foothills of two Eastern Ghats mountain ranges.
The most well-known and extensively excavated site of the BDT triangle is Ratnagiri. One of the most famous Buddhist sites in the world is the Monastery’s exquisitely carved entrance gate.
