As the city prepares to welcome Goddess Durga, the streets of Cuttack are set to come alive with devotion, artistry, and celebration, reinforcing its reputation as the cultural capital of Odisha.

Bhubaneswar: Ekamra Walks, the flagship cultural initiative of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA), is set to introduce two new experiential trails—Odia Literary Trail and Culture, Crafts & Conversations: Odia Film Panorama—at Kala Bhoomi in the Odisha capital here from November 23.

Envisioned as more than a museum, the Bhavan will celebrate the journey of the Odia language and culture from ancient Kalinga to modern Odisha. It will chronicle milestones from Adi Kabi Sarala Das to Haladhar Nag, and literary giants like Upendra Bhanja, Fakir Mohan Senapati, Manoj Das, and Jayanta Mahapatra.
