Ancient orissa
was a confluence of cultures of different races. In this holy land, assimilation
of the cultures of the Austrics, the Drvidians and the Aryans took place. Geographically,
Orissa provides a culture corridor that connects the North with the South.

The sea-faring activities and maritime glory made it the
most attractive destination of the eastern coast of India. Successive tides from
all sides surged up, rolled in and broke over this land culminating in cultural
synthesis. This passage over ages transcended the traditional vision of culture.
Culture in its essence is viewed here as ways
of loving together.
Orissa has a unique distinction of acting as
a confluence of diverse faiths by striking harmony amongst religious faiths from
animism, fetishism, shamanism, ancestore worship to highly evolved froms of religions
like Brahminism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, Chiristianity and Mahima Dharma.

Saivism, Saivism, Sakta , Ganapatya, Sour-all forms of Brahminic worship are conceived
in the wonderful matrix of the great and grand cult of jagannath that embraces in

But be the world saved’’ –(Bhima Bhoi)
