Cuttack district

Cuttack district is an administrative region in eastern India that features extensive wetlands and a complex river landscape. Multiple water channels crisscross the area, shaping both the land and how people live there.

This area was once part of colonial administrative zones and gained its current structure after India's independence. Its development is closely tied to the reshaping of eastern provinces during that period.

Local artisans create intricate silver ornaments through techniques passed down over many generations, and their workshops are still active throughout the region. You can watch craftspeople at work, keeping these methods alive in their daily practice.

The region is connected to larger cities by road and rail services with regular transport options available. The central city of Cuttack serves as the main hub for exploring the wider area.

A major river splits into many smaller channels, creating a fertile delta that allows year-round farming of different crops. This natural water system has made the land exceptionally productive for agriculture.
