@Ov__De@Saul_Sadka What idol worship? Like a Jesus Statue or a Cross? The 'idols' are simply symbolic. Hinduism believes in one supreme soul consciousness that can manifest in any appearance that the supreme consciousness chooses.
This is how Odisha is creating champions.
Odisha swimmer Pratyasa Ray clinched Gold in the Women’s 200m Backstroke at the Senior National Aquatic Championship 2026 in Ahmedabad.
Another proud moment to the Odisha’s growing sporting legacy.
Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.
Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.
Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.
Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.
Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."
Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.
Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.
@TheGreatAshB Behaviour of the staff at the restaurants or if you run into them in the lobby. Makes a huge difference in enhancing the stay experience.
If a hotel is making noisy repairs and doesn't tell you when you are booking, never go back there.
Nothing beats Odisha Rasagola. ❤️
When passing through Salepur, I always make sure to stop for its legendary Rasagola.
From this small town in Odisha, Rasagolas are shipped to destinations around the world.
Soft, juicy, and unmatched in taste.
Finally, better sense has prevailed.
The term “Jagannatha Dham” will be removed from the Digha Jagannatha Temple, as announced by West Bengal CM.
Jagannatha temples can be built across the world, spreading the message and culture of Mahaprabhu.
But Jagannatha Dham is unique and eternal - it is Puri.
Dear Sir,
@CMO_Odisha@MohanMOdisha
The old town temple tourism circuit would benefit from a clean up of Bindu Sagar and the closure of open drains around all ancient temples in the old town area. Your intervention will benefit the tourism prospects of Bhubaneswar 🙏
One man's mission to revive #Bindusagar inspires many
Every weekend, while most people in the city are catching up on rest or leisure, 28-year-old software engineer Pritish Nayak can be found along the banks of Bindusagar, armed with gloves, sacks and an unwavering commitment to conserving the ancient lake.
For nearly a year now, Nayak has devoted his weekends to cleaning the iconic water body in the heart of Bhubaneswar's Old Town. What began as an individual effort to remove plastic waste and other debris from the lake has gradually evolved into a community movement, drawing the participation of students, young professionals and local residents.

The global internet handles Indians poorly because we Indians do not handle each other well. Unlike other highly unified diasporas/global communities who form a strict, protective circle around their identity when attacked from the outside, the Indian internet presence is profoundly, fundamentally fractured.
When a generalized, racist attack is leveled against Indians on a global platform, We do not respond as a singular, powerful civilizational bloc. Instead, the internal fault lines of the subcontinent instantly crack open in the comments section:
Rather than attacking the racist premise, different factions will weaponize the attack against each other. North Indians will blame South Indians, South Indians will distance themselves from North Indians, political left-wingers will claim the racism is justified because of right-wing policies & right-wingers will blame the left for projecting a poor image of the country abroad.
In the language of Chanakya’s Arthashastra, this is the classic vulnerability of a state suffering from Abhyantara Kopa (internal dissension). Chanakya explicitly warned that a massive kingdom with infinite wealth & numbers can be brought down effortlessly by a tiny external enemy if the kingdom's internal factions hate each other more than they value their collective security.
Until the Indian internet demographic develops the civilizational maturity to drop internal squabbles & present a united front against external degradation, the algo will continue to exploit & monetize the fractures.
@arunv2808 India needs 3-5 planned cities in every state. Developed with clear state vision. So tough since no alignment of interests of the political class with the citizenry!
