CUTTACK TOURISM

Situated at the convergence of Mahanadi and Kathajodi Rivers, Cuttack, the second biggest city in Odisha  is 27 km from the state capital Bhubaneshwar. The city still retains its medieval majesty when it served as the capital of Kalinga, the older name of Odisha, for almost a century. Cuttack literally means ‘the fort’ as it was established as a military cantonment by the Keshari dynasty.

Known as the ‘Millenium City’ of Odisha, Cuttack serves as an important commercial center. The annual Bali Yatra is the largest trade fair in India and the second largest in Asia. The people of Cuttack are followers of Goddess Durga and the Cuttack Chandi temple, where Goddess Chandi (an incarnation of goddess Durga) is the city’s presiding deity. Although the culture of the city revolves around Hindu practices, Cuttack also houses a large population of Muslims and Sikhs and their important shrines.
