Odia Film Daman’s Trailer Out Starring Babushan In The Lead Role

by Swati Sahoo
written by Swati Sahoo

JP Motion Pictures has released the official trailer for the eagerly awaited Odia film of 2022 featuring prominent Ollywood actor Babushaan on social media networks. The film will be released in Odisha during the Raja festival.

Bishal Morya and Devi Prasad Leka, the film’s filmmakers, had previously said that the official trailer will be released on Republic Day. The trailer has sparked a lot of interest among moviegoers since its debut.

The trailer seems intriguing, and it might usher in a wave of an entirely new genre never before seen in Hollywood.

The narrative is based on true events and follows a doctor who goes about his responsibilities boldly and without regard for the repercussions. His fight to raise awareness about the reality that malaria cannot be healed by superstitions, but only with correct awareness among the people in Odisha’s rural areas, where there isn’t even a telephone tower or proper connectivity.

As we all know, Odisha is one of the leading contributors of Malaria, and no effective measures have ever been made to address the problem. This is the narrative of a doctor’s extraordinary and heroic effort to rescue the inhabitants of Malkangiri, a cut-off area and Maoist stronghold, from Malaria.

“The film is likely to be well received by fans who feel that Odia films lack freshness and creativity,” said Daman producer Dipendra Samal.

by RTD Journal
written by RTD Journal

India consists of many regions which have different atmospheric conditions, making it one of the most diverse countries in the world in the area of weather and climate. The meteorological department of India follows the international standard of four seasons.

The wind speed of the cyclone is predicted to be up to 60 to 70 km per hour.

Apart from that present climate conditions of India are getting worse day by day. Smoke coming from automobiles and emissions from industrials, dust, and weather patterns make Delhi the world’s most polluted capital. according to the Air Quality Index or AQI below 50 are considered good and under 100 satisfactory. Shockingly Delhi is above 300 at present and in some areas, it is 400.

In the parts of Noida, it’s nearly 500. The government has already closed the construction work and also some schools to ensure protection from toxic air and smoke. “First, we need to understand that we are also responsible for the rising pollution levels. From our end, we need to cut down, whatever possible, that is leading to pollution. We should not add on to this problem,” Dr. Manoj Sharma, senior consultant, internal medicine, Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj said.

Stay home, stay safe and wear the mask. Take proper precautions.

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik Inaugurates Koraput Coffee Cafe On International Coffee Day 2021

by Swati Sahoo
written by Swati Sahoo

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurated the Koraput Coffee Cafe and a specialized e-commerce portal (Koraputcoffee.org) to promote Koraput Coffee across the world on International Coffee Day.

The state government also intends to open a number of such cafés around the country to help develop the brand and, as a result, change the lives of local coffee farmers.

Coffee cultivation is changing life in Odisha’s Koraput district’s tribal hinterland. Koraput, at 3,000 feet above sea level, has a mild temperature and enough rain, making it perfect for coffee growing. This indigenous coffee is a 100 percent Arabica single-origin coffee that will compete with specialty coffee in the near future.

“I am pleased that Koraput coffee has established a niche for itself in just two years. My administration has launched a number of measures to promote Koraput Coffee for the sake of tribal livelihood. In addition, the Tribal Development Cooperative Cooperation of Odisha Limited promotes Koraput coffee. The Coffee Development Trust in Koraput has taken on up to 300 hectares of new and existing coffee plants this year. On the occasion of International Coffee Day, I am pleased to announce the opening of Koraput coffee’s dedicated e-commerce website and social media accounts: Koraputcoffee.org. I’m also excited to announce the launch of a Koraput coffee café in the Koraput area, which will help to promote the brand,” the CM remarked as he addressed the crowd.

“I have been honored to be a part of Koraput Coffee from its start in 2019.” Our new Tiger Bright product range is quickly capturing everyone’s attention. Many overseas customers are contacting us to purchase in bulk. I am confident that this will assist our indigenous producers in obtaining competitive prices.” TDCCOL’s Managing Director, Mansi Nimbhal, stated.

Tata Coffee recently decided to offer coffee grown in the Koraput area in national and international markets, giving a huge boost to the home-grown coffee brand.

written by Ankita Mohanty

The Sahid Nagar Police on Wednesday arrested a woman hailing from West Bengal for allegedly befriending a youth and looting around Rs 10 lakh cash and other valuables from his house.

The accused woman, whose real name is Pihu Biswas, hails from Kolkata. She was arrested from Baliapanda in Puri where she resided.

The accused lured the victim by introducing herself as a staff of a reputed college. Later, she visited the youth’s house on August 15 and looted Rs 10 lakh cash, ornaments and other valuables after sedating him.

Giving details of the case, Sanjeev Satpathy, ACP (Zone 5), Bhubaneswar said, “The woman befriended the youth over WhatsApp by introducing herself as an employee of a reputed college. She also claimed to be an insurance agent and visited the youth’s house.”

“She spent the night at the youth’s house and served him prasad laced with sedatives. When the youth fell unconscious under the effect of the sedatives, the accused woman ran away with Rs 10 lakh in cash, jewellery, cell phones, ATM cards and other valuables,” Satpathy said.

The senior policeman added that following Biswas’s arrest, gold ornaments worth Rs 5 lakh and some cash were seized from her possession.

Sources meanwhile said that the woman was earlier arrested in Kolkata for similar frauds.

The police are investigating if more people were entrapped by the woman in the past. The police also appealed to people to come forward if anyone has been cheated by the accused woman.

It is worth mentioning here that recently a woman identified as Angel Priya was arrested by Sahid Nagar police for duping people by creating fake profiles on Facebook and identifying herself as a doctor, beautician and nurse.

All About the Exquisite Gadaba Tribe of Koraput And Their Fading Legacy

by Arpita Mohanty
written by Arpita Mohanty

Explore the Ethnography of Odisha

The very name of Odisha has been derived from the word “Ordes”, a predominant tribe of the place. Housing the largest variety of tribal population, with 62 recognised tribal communities. Koraput is blessed with a bulk of the rich heritage and ethnic diversity in Odisha. One such tribe of Odisha is the Gadaba tribe, inhabiting Koraput, with the highest population density. Occupying a plateau of 3000ft, they live mostly in the southernmost part. Numerous theories of their origin surface after thorough research. Few theses trace their roots to Ramayana, few others to Godavari valley and Vindhya hills. The word “Gadaba” refers to a person who carries loads on his shoulders, thus speaking for the professions like agriculturist, coolie, or palanquin bearer, that they are invested in.

The tribe is divided into two types, the “Bada Gadabas” and the “Sana Gadabas”. The Bada Gadabas use “Gutab” , which is the dialect specific to their tribe belonging to the Munda language family. Whereas Sana Gadabas use the Olaro tongue of the Dravidian language family. The Gadabas have a characteristic dressing style, ornament collection and designs of hair. They tie their hair with linseed oil and adorn it with flowers. The men wear “Lenguti”, a small piece of cloth around the bottom with a flap hanging in front. The women wear “Kerang”, a long cloth wrapped around the waist, along with a wrap-around blouse. Their ornaments are made of brass and aluminium.

Their appetite for Gadabas rounds to thrice a day, though they do not take breakfast. “Pej”, gruel made up of ragi flour, locally called “Mandia”, is their staple food. Their dinner plate is often occupied by some or the other chutney. During festivals they prefer non-veg like fish, chicken and mutton. In their culture drinking liquor is believed to be sacred, so they consume alcohol on a regular basis.

Amidst the struggles of life and lingering poverty, the Gadabas make efforts to keep their culture alive through dance and music. Dhemsa dance is performed by women of the tribe, while the men play musical instruments like huge drums, Tal Mudibaja, Madal, flute, Tamak and Mahuri. Their performances generally depict their emotions and passion. Gutor Parab, Bandapana Parab, Dasahara Parab, Pusha Parab, and Chaita Parab are few major festivals that they celebrate with great pomp and show. The whole community starts the preparations of every occasion before 15 days, to fit everyone’s schedule and make the necessary arrangements. They believe in a peculiar superstition of “Palata Bagha”. According to them, this phenomenon can occur due to the wizardry of evil people, who have the ability to take the form of a tiger and prey on human beings. To get rid of this phenomenon they perform rituals and animal sacrifices. They also believe in divinity, and call their chief deity, “Thakurani”, whose idol is structured with slabs of stone as it resides in the Hundi.

One customary rule of Gadabas which the society can learn from is their egalitarian family structure, where the women have equal social status as that of men and also participate in every decision-making process. They worship a deity called “Sadar”, dedicated to mother earth, which is made up of stone and is enshrined under banyan trees. They prefer living in the moment and sharing with one another. With the advancement in technology and the interference to bring them to mainstream, changes in their dressing pattern, lingua franca, lifestyle, food preferences etc. are evident. Hardly women can be found wearing Kerang Sarees these days. “Gotar”, a major Gadaba festival has come to a halt for various speculated reasons. Though modernization is paving the path towards development, the goals should be kept sustainable, so that the cultural diversity of the tribes is not compromised in the process. Modern facilities, advanced lifestyle and traditional ethics should go hand in hand to conserve our rich heritage.

The Colourful History Of Bhubaneswar

by RTD Journal
written by RTD Journal

The city which has been changed drastically over the last 5 years in terms of administration, IT, education and tourism sector, Bhubaneswar was ranked as the best place to do business in India by the World Bank in 2014. Bhubaneswar has emerged as one of the fastest-growing, important trading and commercial hub in eastern India. Even now the city is being compared with other foreign metropolitan cities. So let me take you through back in time how it all started.

Today’s smart city Bhubaneswar got it’s name from “Tribhubaneswara” or “Bhubaneswara” (literally “Lord of the Earth”), the name of Shiva, the god of the Lingaraja temple. Bhubaneswar was built as a modern city by German architect Otto Königsberger with wide streets, gardens, and parks. Although part of the city followed this plan, it grew rapidly in the next few decades, overcoming the planning process.

Bhubaneswar is located near the ruins of Sisupalgarh, the ancient capital of the former province of Kalinga. Dhauli, near Bhubaneswar, was the site of the Kalinga War 262-261 BCE, when Mauryan Emperor Ashoka invaded and occupied Kalinga. One of the most comprehensive instructions of the Mauryan Emperor, Ashoka, from between 272 and 236 BCE, remains engraved on a rock, 8 Kilometres southwest of the present city. The Legislative Assembly of Odisha was moved from Cuttack to Bhubaneswar in 1949.

After the decline of the Mauryan Empire, the area came under the control of the Mahameghavahana dynasty, whose dynasty best known for the Kharavela. His Hathigumpha inscription is found in the caves of Udayagiri and Khandagiri near Bhubaneswar. The area was then ruled by several kings, including the Satavahanas, Guptas, Matharas, and Shailodbhavas.

By the seventh century, the Somavamshi or Keshari empires established their empire in the area, and they built many temples. After the Kesharis, the Eastern Gangas ruled the Kalinga area until the 14th century CE. Their capital, Kalinganagara, was in modern-day Bhubaneswar City.

After them, Mukunda Deva of the Bhoi dynasty – the last Hindu ruler of the area as far as Maratha – built many religious buildings in the area. Most of the oldest temples in Bhubaneswar were built between the 8th and 12th centuries, under the influence of Shaiva. The Ananta Vasudeva Temple is the only ancient Vishnu temple in the city. In 1568, the Afrikaner kingdom, originally from Afghanistan, gained a foothold. During their reign, most of the temples and buildings were either destroyed or disfigured.

In the 16th century, the area came under the control of the Mughal. The Maratha, a successor of the Mughals in the mid-18th century, encouraged the movement to the region. In 1803, the area came under British colonial rule, and was part of the Bengal Presidency (until 1912), in the province of Bihar and Orissa (1912-1936) and in Orissa Province (1936-1947). The capital of the British province of Orissa Province was Cuttack, which was in danger of flooding and suffering from space. As a result, on September 30, 1946, a motion was passed to move the new capital to the Odisha Provincial Legislature. After India’s independence, the foundation of the new capital was laid by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on April 13, 1948.

Know the 10 Famous Nicknames of Places in Odisha and Why They Are Named So

by Arpita Mohanty
written by Arpita Mohanty

Here, “there is a lot in a name”, a name enunciates history and with it unfolds interesting stories. Let us discover ten such nicknames and find out the meaning between the lines.

1. Sorrow of Odisha – Mahanadi

The gigantic wave and flow of Mahanadi was the cause of many devastating floods. After the construction of the Hirakud Dam, its notoriety came under control. Yet the damage it causes after heavy downpours is still humongous, and the recent flash flood last year that affected 4 lakh people, is the testimony to the fact. 

2. The Silver City – Cuttack

As the city shimmers with a silvery aura, thousands of people crowd in Cuttack during Durga Puja to see the exclusive decoration of Chandi. Built by King Ananga Bhimadev III, some 1000 years ago, it is renowned for its fine Chandi Tarakasi, the art of silver-filigree works, and hence the name “Silver City ”. 

3. Sports Capital of India – Bhubaneswar

In the era where cricket was an emotion and the national sport, hockey a long-forgotten dream, Bhubaneswar stood tall and firm, preparing for training the best hockey players, who the world knows today. Starting from World Hockey Championships to State Level Tribal Sports Meet, cradling the budding talents from nook and corner, in the world’s best hockey stadium, Bhubaneswar slowly transformed into the Sports Capital of India. 

4. Silk City of Odisha – Berhampur

Unwoven from cocoon and spinned by weavers, the Berhampuri patta saree stands out with its extraordinary zari embroidered edges. Along with the saree comes the “Joda” for men, designed in the hands of skilled workers. Thus, being called “The Silk City of Odisha”.

5. City of Waterfalls – Deogarh

This “Haven of Gods” is a home to many waterfalls like Koradkot Fall, Deojharan Fall, Pradhanpat Fall, to name a few. It is festooned with scenic beauties with waterfalls as the main attraction. Therefore, it is known as the “City of Waterfalls”.

6. Spiritual Capital of Odisha – Puri

According to Hindu belief, the four sites of pilgrimage are the abode of the Gods, and a visit to the Chaar Dham will wash away all sins. One of them is Puri, the residence of an avatar of Lord Vishnu, Lord Jagannath along with his wife Goddess Laxmi, his siblings; Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra. Divinity can be felt in the air, once one enters the vicinity of Puri. The smell of abadha, the tinkling of bells and troops of Puri Pandas, build up ethereal vibes in the city. All these factors clubbed together, make Puri the Spiritual Capital of Odisha.

7. Steel City of Odisha – Rourkela

Rourkela, having an abundance of iron ore, is the home ground of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), the first integrated steel plant in the public sector in India. It has a Big Core Sector in the case of Steel, heavy blast furnace, etc., which laid the foundation stone of industries like Larsen & Toubro Fabrication Plant in Kansbahal and more. Consequently, getting the nickname, “The Steel City of Odisha”.

8. Diamond City – Sambalpur

Be it the mentions of ancient Roman scholar, Cladius Ptolemy’s “Sambalaka” or the British historian, Edward Gibbon’s “Sumelpur” in their books, all the centuries old references point to Sambalpur. The gravel bed of Hirakud, in Sambalpur, contained the precious diamonds. A great diamond trade followed the resource treasured in this district, which is therefore called the Diamond City.

9. Bhata Handi of Odisha – Bargarh

Rice, the staple food of Odisha, is abundantly produced in Bargarh. Owing to the geographical location of this city, it gets a lot of water. Thus, making it suitable to grow Paddy, which is the crop that requires a great amount of water. “Bhata Handi” , translating to “Rice Bowl”, gets its name due to the large production of rice in the farmlands of Bargarh.

10. Kashmir of Odisha – Daringbadi

Snow-capped mountains and chilled atmosphere, sometimes dropping below 0 degrees Celsius, Daringbadi, is indeed a replica of Kashmir in Odisha. Situated at an altitude of 915 metres, this city captivates tourists worldwide for its picturesque scenery.
