Odisha Parbha - as soon as one comes across this event, there is a rush of positive thoughts that flow in.

Such is the grandeur and pride this festival is celebrated with.

If you have been to Odisha, you must have had Odia delicacies such as Pitha, Gaja, Maccha Besara... /1

But how often does one get to visit Odisha? Not frequently, right?

This is where Odisha Parba comes in!

From mouthwatering Odia cuisine to Odia culture, handlooms and art, Odisha Parba is a one stop event that is celebrated every year in a spectacular and unique manner. /2

This year's Odisha Parba was even more special as 'Ahe Nila Shaila', a stage play showcasing how Gajapati Ramachandra Dev defeated Mohammed Taqi Khan, who invaded Puri Temple, with patience and courage to protect the holy shrine of Sri Jagannath ji. /3

Organised at the sprawling JLN Stadium, Odisha Parba was filled with shopping spots that showcased Odisha's rich handlooms & handicrafts talent.

From Dhokra & Silver Filigree to Odissi Saree & Pipili Applique, Odia art is something you cannot get your eyes off! /4

Over a lakh visitors spent their weekend enjoying the traditional Odia ambience, the rich heritage and delectable cuisine from the land of Lord Jagannath.

The occurrence of such events have become frequent because of the active support of PM Narendra Modi Ji's government. /5
