Photos of Odisha from today.

The talented artist, L. Iswar Rao, recently unveiled his latest creation at an art exhibition. A magnificent 9-inch mandap, intricately crafted from discarded materials such as Areca nut peels, caught the attention of many visitors.

What made this piece even more exceptional was the 2-inch stone Ganesh idol placed inside, adding a touch of spirituality to the artwork. The timing of this display couldn't have been more perfect, as it was just before the upcoming Ganesh puja. But that wasn't the only noteworthy event happening in the city.

The prestigious 'KHOJ-2026: National Odissi Seminar and Summer Workshop Program' was also held at the renowned Shatabdi Bhavan. This seminar aimed to promote the traditional art form of Odissi and provide a platform for artists to showcase their talent. It was a great opportunity for art enthusiasts and students to learn and appreciate the beauty of Odissi.

Meanwhile, another cultural event, 'Sur Shadaj', organized a grand classical music program called 'Sur Samaroh' at the Gita Govinda Sadan in Bhubaneswar. The evening was filled with soulful renditions of classical music, leaving the audience mesmerized. The event was a huge success and received immense praise from all those who attended.
