As cinema emerged as a modern storytelling medium, it has carried the potential to be both a mirror and a mould—reflecting societal shifts while also shaping perceptions, values, and identities. (3) #cinema #identity #Odisha #Odia #IdentityCrisis #Bollywood #Ollywood #OdiaCinema

1/ The Gandhavati River, once a powerful waterway, played a crucial role in shaping the ancient city of Sisupalgarh, believed to be the capital of Kalinga from the 6th century BC to the 5th century AD. #Sisupalgarh #Odisha

6/ The dialogue continues! Stay tuned for more conversations on Odisha’s past, present, and future at Odisha Manaska. Let’s keep the discussion flowing, just like our rivers should! 🌊✨ #OdishaManaska #SaveOurRivers

5/ As rivers fade, so do the traditions they nurtured. The conversation ended with a collective urge to rethink how we engage with our rivers—not just as water bodies, but as cultural and historical entities.

1/ On 17th March, All Things Odisha hosted the March session of Odisha Manaska (ଓଡ଼ିଶା ମନସ୍କ) at the ExtraOdinari space in Saheed Nagar. The theme: Dying Rivers, Dying Traditions – Can We Save Odisha's Socio-Cultural Identity Without Saving Its Rivers? 🌊 #OdishaManaska

Thanks Sonali&Sambit for giving space for discussion on Rivers at #Her_Space @Odisha_Manaska with young professionals. Rivers are living beings, citadel of civilization, centre of socio economic, cultural life & ecology. let's do our best for rejuvenation starting with Gangua.

@sudarsandasINC #OdishaManaska is an initiative by @AllThingsOdisha where we bring forth collective wisdom about various topics pertaining to #Odisha through participation of people from different walks of life where they speak from their lived realities. #DyingRiversDyingTraditions

5/ Until we acknowledge these layers, love will remain a privilege for some and a battleground for others. #OdishaManaska #Love #Identity #Patriarchy

4/ Taking a stand for love isn’t the same for men and women. While men are often celebrated for their passion, women face stigma, isolation, and lifelong consequences.

1/ In the February edition of #OdishaManaska, we explored #love and #identity—specifically, a woman's place in a patriarchal world when taking a stand for love. 🧵👇
