Cultural Significance

[edit]
Main article:Culture of Odisha

Odisha's cities each offer unique cultural and historical significance to the state's rich heritage:

  • Bhubaneswar is known as the "Temple City of India" with over 600 temples, including the magnificent Lingaraj Temple and Mukteshwar Temple, showcasing the exemplary Kalinga architectural style dating back to the 7th-13th centuries CE.
  • Cuttack, the former capital, is famous for its silver filigree work called "Tarakasi," a delicate metalwork tradition practiced since the 18th century. The city's Barabati Fort and Durga Puja celebrations reflect its historical and cultural prominence.
  • Puri hosts the famous annual Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival) of Lord Jagannath, one of India's most significant religious events dating back over 5,000 years, drawing millions of devotees from around the world.
  • Baripada, often called the "Cultural Capital and heart of North Odisha," inMayurbhanja district. Baripada is notable for its unique cultural and ecological significance: home to the UNESCO-recognized Chhau Dance and its dedicated school,[2] it also hosts the distinctive Baripada Rath Yatra, where women exclusively pull Lord Subhadra's chariot.[3] Its royal heritage is reflected in its palaces, and it serves as the gateway to Simlipal National Park, a vital tiger reserve and UNESCO biosphere.
