About Odisha
Formerly referred to as Orissa with neighboring states of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, this state boasts of a very beautiful and graceful coastline of Bay of Bengal. Due to its varied and distinct groups of tribes and local inhabitants, the land of Odisha has become very harmonious and one of a kind. By area, it is the 8th largest state of India and the 11th largest in regards to the population of the state along with being home to the 3rd largest population of scheduled tribes in India. The state plays a very major significance in forging the history of India since it has found mentions in various different Hindu epics and texts including Mahabharat which makes it a very relevant place to be. In every building and places of worship, the Vedic traditions here are prominent in its nature.
The forest cover of India is extremely vast and thriving and comprises over 31% of the forest cover where a number of wildlife beings and birds thrive in complete harmony.
