well nitish sir,bhubaneshwar is not a big deal...you have jan shatabdi and almost all trains to south touch bbs...upasana provides the grestest buffer for falknuma...but if ill fate strikes,you can go for ur class of any subsequent train...

Upasana / Kumbha have an unnatural tendency to reach late sometimes when u desperately requires it on time.
Hence i prefer PNBE - SHM Duronto and then Falaknuma.
Get down at any stations enroute to SHM from Kamarkundu onwards where it slows down drastically or even stops for a second.

or try 16310 PNBE-ERS express if you can manage the dates.

---

12024 & 12841 you'll reach same day (other than Sun)

---

Also there is patna puri baidyanathdham express on wednesday.
