#🛕💐ଉତ୍କଳ ଦିବସର ଶୁଭେଚ୍ଛା☸️ #🙌🏼ଜୟ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥ🙏 Utkal Divas (1st April) is a very special day for the people of Odisha. It marks the formation of Odisha as a separate state in 1936, created on the basis of the Odia language.❤️✨ Before this, Odia-speaking regions were divided under different provinces like Bihar and West Bengal. After a long struggle by great leaders like Madhusudan Das, Odisha became the first Indian state formed on a linguistic basis. This day celebrates: • The rich culture, traditions, and heritage of Odisha. • Pride in the Odia language. • Unity among Odia people. People celebrate with cultural programs, traditional dances like Odissi, music, and patriotic events.
