Orissa: beyond a poet’s pen & an artist’s brush

An exotic pilgrimage for aesthetic eyes, Orissa looms large with its stupendous relics; the temple of Lord Jagannath at Puri, having the chariot festival as it’s crowning glory; the Chilika lake, oscillating between its thoughtful silence & music galore, thanks to her winged visitors; the wildlife that eternally basks in sensational wildness & ecstatic beauty; the breathtaking beaches wedded to gorgeous blue seas…

Orissa is a painting that speaks. A reservoir of art & culture, whether it is in the handwork of pipli or in our very own “Chhow” & “Odissi” Dance, Orissa provokes curiosity. Orissa is one destination your lifespan should not skip.

  1. Car festival???? Umm you mean the Rath Yatra which quite literally translates to the "journey of the chariot", call it chariot festival, that's understandable, why in the world would you call it a car festival.
