Tribal Heritage
Odisha is known to have the largest number of tribes among all states in India. There are more than 60 tribal communities in Orissa, most of whom have their own living styles and speaking languages and are also isolated from society as well. Visiting the tribes can be a fascinating experience, but there are only limited tribes who are a bit open and like to get visitors to know about their traditions and sell local products as well.

The capital city Bhubaneswar, also known as the city of temples, itself has over 800 spiritual buildings and monuments that primarily have a Kalinga style of architecture that are unparalleled in terms of uniqueness, elegance and decorative stone carvings. The Lingaraj temple is one of the oldest in this region.
Another important temple in Odisha is the world-famous Lord Jaganath temple situated in Puri, which is indeed an imposing example of the architecture that the state possesses. Staying for the mahaprasad and witnessing the rituals of the inner sanctum of the temple is worth the experience.
