Koraput coffee in Parliament canteen! That's a proud moment for Odisha. Great to see local products getting national recognition. Hope this boosts the livelihood of our tribal coffee growers.
While it's good that the CM attended, I hope this is not just a photo-op. Real support means ensuring tribal communities get proper infrastructure, education, and healthcare year-round, not just during festivals.
Sachet-Parampara performing at the finale! What a perfect way to end a cultural festival. Their music blends tradition with modernity so well. Wish I could be there in Koraput today.
The fact that visitors from around the world come to Parab shows the global appeal of Indian tribal art. We must preserve and promote these traditions. Jai Odisha! 🇮🇳
As someone who visited Odisha last year, the tribal culture is truly mesmerizing. Festivals like Parab are crucial for keeping these ancient traditions alive. The coffee mention is interesting too!
