Ahead of International Tiger Day tomorrow (29 July), here is a rare glimpse of a black tiger at Similipal, captured by tourists during a safari.
Similipal in Odisha is the world’s only habitat of black tigers.
The latest camera trap estimation puts the tiger population at 35 unique adult tigers, including 19 black tigers, in the Similipal Tiger Reserve.

ଏ ମାସଟି ପର୍ବର ମାସ। ପୁରୀରେ ସାହିଯାତ ଚାଲିଛି, ସେପଟେ ନୟାଗଡ଼ର ଦଶପଲ୍ଲାରେ ଚାଲିଛି ଲଙ୍କାପୋଡ଼ି। ତା ସାଙ୍ଗକୁ ପୁଣି ଗାଁ ଗାଁରେ ଦଣ୍ଡନାଚ ଆଉ ଭଳିକି ଭଳି ସୁଆଙ୍ଗ।
ଆଉ ସପ୍ତାହେ ପରେ ଆସୁଛି ଛେନାପୋଡ଼ ଦିବସ। ଗତ ପାଞ୍ଚବର୍ଷ ଧରି (୨୦୨୨ ମସିହାଠାରୁ) ଆମେ ଓଡ଼ିଆମାନେ ଏହାକୁ ନୟାଗଡ଼, ଭୁବନେଶ୍ବର ଓ ରାଜ୍ୟର ବିଭିନ୍ନ ସ୍ଥାନ ସମେତ ସାରା ବିଶ୍ବରେ ପାଳନ କରିଆସୁଛେ। ଏଥର ବି ପାଳନ କରିବା। ଛେନାପୋଡ଼ ଖାଇବା, ରାମଲୀଳା ଗାଇବା, ଚଢ଼େୟା ନାଚରେ ବାଇ ହୋଇ ନାଚିବା।
ଛେନାପୋଡ଼ ନୟାଗଡ଼ର ଦରବ ହେଲେ କ'ଣ ହେଲା, ଏବେ ଏହା ଓଡ଼ିଶାର ଗରବ।
ଏପ୍ରିଲ ୧୧, ମନେ ଅଛି ତ?
Chhenapoda Dibasa, also known as World Chhenapoda Day, will be celebrated on 11 April. For the past five years, Odisha has observed this day to commemorate the birth anniversary of the inventor of this unique sweet, which originated in the Nayagarh district.
With just one week left for the celebration of the mouthwatering Chhenapoda, let us come together to celebrate, collaborate, and cherish this iconic delicacy. Let us also take a step forward in securing a GI tag for Nayagarh Chhenapoda.
