Odisha is known for its rich tradition, cultural grandeur, and its unique festivities. Manabasa Gurubar adds bright colours to the landscape of Odisha’s cultural heritage. Manabasa Gurubar is held on every Thursday in the month of Margasira which is the 8th month of the Odia calendar. The first Manabasa Gurubar falls just right after Kartika Purnima.
