Odisha is located between latitudes 17.78°N and 22.73°N and longitudes 81.37°E to 87.53°E. The state covers an area of ​​155,707 sq. km, which is 4.87% of the total area of ​​India and its coastline is 480 km long.

There are many possible reasons for calling Odisha unique and different.

      .

• The state of Odisha is like a bridge between the north and south of India and therefore represents a Pan India cultural diversity.

• There are about 62 types of tribes living in the state , having a lot of cultural diversities( including food ,drink, clothing, fairs and festivals and many other cultural diversities)

• It is a peace-loving state where people are very hospitable.

• It is a state where the population of a handful of cities is over 500,000.

• Urbanization has not yet contaminated the quiet attractions of its villages and towns.

• Whether it’s an environmental tourism lover or an ancient art lover or a tribal public life lover, Odisha has something in its bosom for everyone. It seems as if God has never shown stepmother’s attitude while delivering natural attractions in the Odisha’s lap.

• Bhubaneswar, the capital of the state, is better known as the ancient temple cladded city of India  (over 3,000-year-old) .

•  Bhubaneswar’s unique identity is that its unbroken history of Kalinga temple architecture is still preserved in its lap.

• Apart from the good weather that reigns throughout the year, Odisha is all the more interesting.

• Virgin and exotic 480 km long sunrise coastline.

•  Tropical Forest (39.31% of the total area of ​​the state).

•  Chilika( spread over an area of 1100 sq.km) is the largest brackish water lake in Asia.

•  A variety of delicious local dishes( peculiar to that particular locality) are offered to the tourists

• Deomali of Odisha is the highest peak in the Eastern Ghat Mountains.
