The Boat Festival of Odisha, Celebrated on the full moon day of November, is one of the most beautiful festival from my state. 
On this special day we wake up at early morning to leave boats made of banana stems in the river, all while lighting firecrackers. 

This festival is a tribute to the success and safety of these traders. Families celebrated to wish their loved ones safe and prosperous voyages.

Following this date, we also host the largest open trade fair in Asia, named "Bali Yatra", which means Voyage to Bali. It's a grand celebration of our rich trading heritage. 

Interestingly, a similar festival is held in Bali & Thailand, highlighting how our ancestors not only traded goods but also shared culture & traditions. 

The reason behind celebrate this 
our coastal state Odisha had a strong maritime trade history. Traders from Odisha used to travel all over Asia to trade spices . clothes & agri products
