Every state in the country has a distinct identity which appears as its culture and dress. Similarly, we are talking about the state of Odisha, whose foundation day is celebrated on 1st April. Odisha has many ancient names like Kalinga, Utkal, and Udra but it is more famous for the land of Lord Jagannath. The main thing is that Lord Jagannath is deeply associated with the social, cultural, and religious life of Odisha. Odisha is a province of India which is situated on the east coast of India. Today, we will tell you some of the special hallmarks of Odisha and why Odisha Day is celebrated.

On April 1, Odisha Day is remembered for those people of history who made their huge contribution and sacrifice to take Odisha forward and succeed. This day is celebrated as Utkal Day / Odisha Day.

The main thing is that Odisha Day is celebrated not only in different states of India but also in those countries that the people of Odisha reside. It is noteworthy that Odisha is also known as Kalinga state. One of the main reasons for this is that in ancient times, the state of Odisha is not the first to do so. The area was the center of Kalinga state, so even today Odisha is known as Kalinga State. Utkal Diwas is also celebrated as a pleasure of 1st April 1936 on the day of establishment of the state of Odisha.

Today is a holiday in Odisha. On this day in many places, seminars and competitions are held in the evening with cultural programs. Most of the people are tribes in Odisha. Most of the tribes live mainly in Koraput, Phulbani, Sundargarh, and Mayurbhanj districts.

There are about 60 tribes who live mainly in the jungle and remote hilly areas of the state. Odisha is bounded by Jharkhand in the north, West Bengal in the north-east, Andhra Pradesh in the south and Chhattisgarh in the west, and the Bay of Bengal in the east. The Odisha region is primarily a rice-producing region.
