Strudeler’s Civilizations: Odisha (Orisha or Orissa)
Play as the Maharaja that patronized the Konark Sun Temple, Langula Narasingha Deva; in Sid Meier’s Civilization VI.
Odisha is a region that is known as Kalinga in ancient times and Orissa in the middle ages. The land of the Odia people is known for its extensive coastline, thick forested area of the Garjat country, and as the homeland of the Jagannath form of Vaishnavaite Hinduism. The Jagannath, or Juggernaut in English, is worshiped along with its siblings as the highest form of the Hindu triumvirate, closest to the supreme reality. Jagannath is a distinct form of Vishnu that was first introduced by the Rajas of Kalinga, these monarchs would later lead the charge against the earliest Islamic and Mamluk conquerors of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Eventually the Odia people would form the Gajapati Empire, known for its battle elephants. The Bengali Muslims would eventually desecrate Odia religion and their historic record, leaving the region in decay as it swapped hands from Bengalis to the Mughals to the Marathas to the British.
