“With ‘Oh My Beautiful Odisha,’ we are embarking on a visual journey, inviting photographers to showcase captivating tales of state’s splendour through their lenses,” a spokesman for TP Odisha Discoms said. Our goals are to highlight Odisha’s natural beauty and create a visual story that touches people’s emotions and brains, resulting in a closer bond.
