About Us

Despite being blessed with abundant natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage, Odisha remains largely unexplored and unknown. Its exquisite handicrafts, magnificent monuments, intricate hand loom textiles, vibrant festivals, indigenous tribes, friendly people with a laid back lifestyle and the many other enchanting charms of the state are truly mesmerizing. Yet, it remains away from the beaten track, unknown to most except the most intrepid traveler/tourist.

It has however made one valuable contribution to the English language, the word ‘Juggernaut’, which is eponymous with the famous temple of Jagannath in Puri. It is this unique temple, its rituals and its annual Rath Yatra that has made it known the world over.
