The
historic
‘Vyasa
Sarovar’
Peetha
at
Vyasanagar
and
its
surroundings
will
get
a
facelift
soon.
A
blueprint
has
already
been
prepared
by
the
Tourism
department
for
the
purpose,
said
Jajpur
Collector
Chakravarti
Singh
Rathore.
“Around
Rs
60
crore
has
been
sanctioned
for
beautification
of
Vyasa
Sarovar
and
its
surroundings.
The
money
will
be
spent
from
the
District
Mineral
Foundation
fund.
The
tender
for
the
beautification
project
has
already
been
floated
and
the
facelift
work
of
the
‘peetha’
will
be
started
soon,”
he
said.
Apart
from
basic
amenities
like
safe
drinking
water,
a
waiting
room
for
tourists
will
be
constructed
at
the
complex.
This
apart,
renovation
of
the
pond
will
be
carried
out.
As
per
mythology,
Duryodhana,
the
eldest
of
the
Kauravas,
hid
in
‘Gupta
Ganga’,
located
in
the
Vyasa
Sarovar
Peetha,
during
Mahabharata.
Later,
Bheema,
one
of
the
Pandavas,
spotted
Duryodhana
and
broke
his
thigh.
