A 200-Year-Old Palace Bringing Odisha’s Traditions Back To Life | ORTA 2025

In the forests of Mayurbhanj stands Belgadia Palace, built in the 1800s as the royal residence of the Bhanja dynasty. Two centuries later, it has been restored into a living heritage stay—where Odisha’s royal history meets contemporary culture. Here, conservation goes beyond architecture. The palace supports Dokra metal art, Sabai grass weaving, tribal craft traditions, and the spectacular Mayurbhanj Chhau dance—keeping local livelihoods alive through responsible tourism. By opening the doors of the palace to travellers from across India and the world, the custodians ensure that heritage is not just viewed from a distance but experienced through stories, performances, food, art and community interaction. Every stay directly contributes to artisan livelihoods, cultural preservation, and the revival of Mayurbhanj’s artistic identity. Belgadia Palace shows how living traditions can empower the present while honouring a rich and resilient past.
