A great initiative by Odisha Tourism to promote Odia cuisine across India.
Support of up to ₹5 crore will be provided to establish Odia cuisine restaurants in:
• Metro Cities:
Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata
• Tourist Destinations:
Agra, Varanasi, Goa, Kochi, Jaipur
• Within Odisha:
Across 77 DoT-notified tourist destinations in Odisha.
A big step towards taking Odia cuisine to the national stage.
Last date for EOI: 18 March 2026.
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.

(Have to thank @manas_muduli for tirelessly promoting Odisha)
This is not acceptable. I strongly condemn this paid propaganda. @sardesairajdeep should publish a public apology for such an irresponsible statement & hurting Odia sentiment.
For @sardesairajdeep ji's knowledge : Ratha Jatra a global event conducted at thousands of destinations with pride... but no one ever dared to propagate it in this way.

Dear @sardesairajdeep, Please stay away from spreading misinformation.
Digha is just one among thousands of places across the world where Ratha Jatra is celebrated.
but Jagannath Dham, Puri is the one and only authentic abode of the divine Ratha Jatra.
@sardesairajdeep The original is always original.

Stunning view of Mahendragiri, Odisha’s second-highest mountain peak.
Mahendragiri, a part of the Eastern Ghats, is a biodiversity heritage site in Odisha.
Jagannath culture must spread, but not at the cost of diluting its originality.
There’s no harm in building new Jagannath temples—hundreds exist worldwide. But replicating the 12th-century Puri temple & calling it “Jagannath Dham” is definitely not acceptable.
There is only one Jagannatha Dham in this world. Period.
