The ceremony began with a tribute to Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a pivotal figure in India's history.

The event also commemorated Jayakrushna Rajguru Mahapatra, a revered freedom fighter and the first martyr from Odisha in the fight against British colonial rule.

Additionally, the tribute was extended to Maharaja Sir Rajendra Narayan Singh Deo, who was a prominent political leader and served as the Chief Minister of Odisha from 1967 to 1971.
