Jajpur: The Tourism department is set to give a facelift to the historic ‘Vyasa Sarovar’ Peetha at Vyasanagar and its surroundings in Jajpur district soon.

The department has prepared a blueprint for the purpose, Jajpur Collector Chakravarti Singh Rathore said.

“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,” Rathore was quoted as saying by The New Indian Express.

Besides the basic amenities of safe drinking water, the complex will see the construction of a waiting room for tourists. Also, pond renovation will be carried out.

Going by mythology, the eldest of the Kauravas, Duryodhana, hid in ‘Gupta Ganga’, located in the Vyasa Sarovar Peetha, in epic Mahabharata.

Later, one of the Pandavas, Bheema, spotted Duryodhana and broke his thigh.
