Kalinga Mahotsav is a fascinating festival celebrated in the state of Odisha. The festival has an interesting story behind its origin. Odisha, earlier known as Kalinga, encountered brutal murders and death during the reign of King Ashoka, who decided to live a non-violent life later. The Mahostav marks the victory of peace over cruelty. Martial artperformance at Dhauli Shanti Stupa, on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar, attracts people from different parts of the world.
