Sanskrit is said to be a classical languange, and yes it is. We do not have any doubts here. Sanskrit is said to be the mother of all languages. Here, there is a big NO from my side. As in Odisha, we are using several words which are not sanskrit in nature, we called them now Odia words but they are actually prakrit words. Here, in our case we call it Odriprakrit. I tried to compile these words in this blog, later on numerous additions will take place in this list. ଓଡ଼ିଆ(ପ୍ରକୃତ) ସଂସ୍କୃତ ଘର ଗୃହ ଆଖି ଚକ୍ଷୁ ଗେରସ୍ତ/ଘଇତା ସ୍ୱାମୀ ଦେଉଳ ଦେବାଳୟ/ମନ୍ଦିର କୁକୁର ଶ୍ଵାନ ଭାତ ଓଦନ/ଅନ୍ନ ଭାଇ ଭ୍ରାତା ପୋଖରୀ ପୁଷ୍କରିଣୀ/ସରସୀ ଆମ୍ବ ଆମ୍ର ପଟି ଆସନ ଗୋଡ଼ ପାଦ ମଲାଟ ଆବରଣ ମାଛ ମତ୍ସ୍ୟ ଖାଣ୍ଟି ଶୁଦ୍ଧ କୁଟା ପାଳ ବୟସ ଆୟୁଷ ପିଲା ଶିଶୁ ବିଲ କ୍ଷେତ୍ର କବାଟ ଦ୍ୱାର ପୁଅ/ପୂତ ପୁତ୍ର ଝିଅ ଦୁହିତା ତ...

Patitasthan... When we think of Odisha, we think of Lord Jagannatha, Sea beaches, Konarka temple, Sambalpuri Sarees and much more. But we rarely think about the situation of Odisha in ancient times or How the people were at that time? Let us have a small look. Odisha was known as Kalinga, Utkala, Mahakantara, Odra, Oddiyana etc etc in different times. The human history in Odisha begins in the  Lower Paleolithic  era, as  Acheulian  tools dating to the period have been discovered in various places in the region. 140 million years ago ( mya ), the peninsular  India , including Odisha, was a part of the  Gondwana   supercontinent . Due to this, some of the oldest rocks in the subcontinent, dating to  Precambrian  times,  are found in Odisha. Some of the rocks, like the Mayurbhanj granite  pluton , have been dated to 3.09 billion years ago ( Ga ). The coal-fields in  Mahanadi  and  Ib  river basi...

Some Thousand years back... Somewhere in this World... Many years ago, there was an island country. The native tribes used to live there. Their society was very much civilized and developed. They used to have one of the most powerful kings in the continent, King VIGA. The prime deity of the tribes were God RAAGA.

He was very much interested in the astronomical science from childhood. When he became young, he studied at a fam...
