'Utkala' was one of the earlier names of Odisha.
'Utkala' finds a mention in 'Jana Gana Mana', the national anthem of India.
The word 'Utkala' means- 'Utkarsha Kala' i.e. 'The land of exquisite art and craft'.
The word 'Dibasa' means 'Day' in Odia language.
'Divas' means 'Day' in Hindi language.
Odisha state was formed as a separate province on 1st April, 1936.
Odisha was the first state of India that was formed as a politically separate state under British rule on a linguistic basis.
Thus, 1st April is celebrated as Odisha Day or Utkala Dibasa.
When it was formed, Odisha's capital was Cuttack.
Odisha constituted six districts- Cuttack, Puri, Baleswar, Sambalpur, Koraput and Ganjam. Today, there are thirty districts in Odisha and Bhubaneswar is the present capital of Odisha.
Odisha Day is celebrated every year on April 1st by Odias worldwide. Many events and competitions are organized. Office buildings are lit. Odias participate in the festivities.
Odisha boasts of natural resources and ancient heritage and culture. Odisha was previously called Kalinga. The deadly Kalinga War was fought by Mauryan emperor Ashoka in 261 BC. Check out some marvels of Odisha in this post.
