Shri Naveen Patnaik
Hon´ble Chief Minister,
Becon Island
Becon Island
Becon island is located in the southern most region of Chilika which comes under Ganjam district. It is 3 kilometers away from Rambha OTDC. It is an architectural marvel with a conical pillar and a small room near Ghantasila hill, Rambha bay. Mr. Snodgrass built this who was the Collector of Ganjam under the east India Company. Earlier records say that Mr. Snodgrass used to relax and do his office work on this island. The ornamental pillar was constructed to put a light on the top. Since this location is surrounded by the Eastern Ghat, the view is very much attracting along with the water spread around the Beacon Island.
