Cuttack, Historic city in Odisha, India

Cuttack extends across a delta formed by the Mahanadi River, with four waterways intersecting through its urban landscape of 192 square kilometers.

The Keshari dynasty established Cuttack as a military base in 989 CE, after which it served as the capital for both Ganga and Suryavamsi Gajapati dynasties.

The city maintains 200 separate Durga Puja celebrations annually, each committee creating distinct earthen sculptures of the deity throughout different neighborhoods.

The Howrah-Chennai railway line connects through Cuttack Junction, providing direct transportation links to major cities across eastern and southern India.

Silver artisans in Cuttack produce intricate filigree works, leading to its designation as the Silver City of India.
