In the culture of Utkal, BOITA means the present day ships. Once upon a time, Utkal was as the main center of sea route trading, commerce and navy on the east coast of India. We can easily find the historical connection and evidences of Indian culture in the eastern Indian ocean countries - and Utkal was the main gateway to export our culture and products. In the course of time, due to various reasons - such as outside invasion, lack of promotion, blending of local culture, etc. - Utkal gradually lost its dominance in sea route trading. Just as our festivals tell our history, Kartika Purnima tells the glorious sea route trading. It is not just a festival, it is also an inspiration and courage that shows Odisha's contribution to shipping in today's time.
