We spent about 2-3 hours hear on our way to Puri from Bhubaneswar. The spot is best visited during the evening hours... I heard that the day time is extremely busy with lots of tourist busses. Do check out the views of the sunset and the adjacent river around evening.

This a must-see temple among the many temples associated with the city of temples. It lies in the pastoral countryside on top of a low hill. There several beautiful statues of Buddha along with a great view of the rice fields.

Forget all the traffic that you have to wade through to get to the road leading to Dhauli. Just enjoy the nice plain curvy road to the hill. Best time - sunset.
