Speaking about the event, a spokesperson for the Odia Samaj said, “We are thrilled to be hosting Odisha Parba 2023 and to be able to showcase the unique and vibrant culture of Odisha to the people of Delhi. The carnival of Odia culture and cuisine, Odisha Parba is back after three years. This fantastic event had to shut down in 2020 and in 2021 and 2022 COVID forced us to hold virtual events. However, we are very enthusiastic and charged up for this year’s Parba. We invite everyone to come and experience the magic of Odisha through its music, dance, and theatre traditions.”
The event will be inaugurated on 24th March by eminent Odia personalities and dignitaries from around the world.
Apart from cultural events, outdoor activities Sankha Dhwani & Ranapa, Bonda primitive Tribal dance, Oram Tribal dance, animal mask dance, Sahijat & Ghoda Nacha, Western Odisha folk dance, Martial art & Paika Nacha and Danda Nrutya will be performed by Odisha’s eminent and renowned artists. Additionally, this event will feature authentic tangy-spicy flavored Odia cuisine and street foods in order to bring out an even more authentic Odia feel.
