As SS Rajamouli’s upcoming action-adventure Varanasi grabs attention, #DidYouKnow a significant part of the film was shot in Koraput, Odisha!!
Koraput hosted the crew for nearly a month last year, with most of the high-octane action sequences are filmed there.
With an estimated budget exceeding ₹1,000 crore (US$120 million), it’s poised to be India’s most expensive film ever.
Koraput is all set to shine on the big screen.
Congrats to Odisha for hosting the world athletics event. The world-class ecosystem around stadia and sports complexes offers lots of lessons. We are building a sports city at our greenfield capital #Amaravati that aims to build an ecosystem of this scale to attract the best talent.
Thank you Odisha, and Bhubaneswar, for making us proud by being selected as host of the 2028 World Athletics Indoor Championships
But we recognise that this isn’t an isolated achievement.
It’s a textbook case of strategy executed over time.
Michael Porter, the Guru of competitive strategy, described how nations build advantage through clusters: dense ecosystems where infrastructure, talent, institutions and demand reinforce each other.
Such clusters create a flywheel: better facilities attract events, events sharpen execution, execution builds credibility, and credibility attracts more investment.
This is exactly the flywheel Odisha set in motion.
The lesson is simple: you don’t bid for global events.
You build ecosystems, and the world comes to you.
On the occasion of Pakhala Divas, Odisha has achieved a remarkable global milestone with Odisha Tourism setting a Guinness World Record for the Largest Serving of Pakhala.
With an unprecedented 1,174 kilograms prepared and presented in a single vessel, this historic achievement brings global recognition to Pakhala, one of Odisha’s most cherished traditional dishes, deeply rooted in our culture and daily life.
This accomplishment reflects our commitment to promoting Odisha’s rich culinary heritage on the global stage. It is a proud moment for every Odia, as we take our timeless traditions from local to global, further strengthening Odisha’s identity as a hub of cultural and gastronomic excellence.

Absolutely beautiful book ‘The Orissan’ by Sandip Das, his daughter Pallavi Das, and Odia cuisine expert/ food photographer Alka Jena. It is a stunning cultural cookbook that captures the soul of Odisha through its food, festivals, maritime legacy and people. Across a 376-page visual journey, it takes us through the fascinating regional diversity of Odisha. I have known Sandip and his creative family for years. Highly recommend.

Odisha is no stranger to India’s tourism circuit.
From the timeless Konark & Jagannath Temples, to the sands of Puri Beach and the vastness of Chilika Lake.
But it seems that if you venture deeper into the state you discover landscapes that are every bit as spectacular.
Duduma Falls in Koraput district where the Machkund River plunges dramatically off a rocky cliff is one such marvel.
It’s a reminder that India’s beauty is inexhaustible. Just when you think you’ve seen it all… another wonder appears.
