Pangata ପଙ୍ଗତ: A Celebration of Food, Culture, and Connection
“Pangata” ପଙ୍ଗତ, a warm and experimental community dining initiative by All Things Odisha, once again brought people together this Sunday; this time to celebrate the rich flavours and soulful stories of Western Odisha.
Hosted as the second edition of , the gathering saw food explorers, culture lovers, and friends of Odisha come together to share not just meals, but moments- blending taste with trust and nostalgia with new connections.
In Odia tradition, pangata is more than just a feast. It’s the joy of sitting together, eating together, and belonging together. Reviving this timeless spirit, the Pangata circle became a space of warmth and storytelling, where every dish carried a memory, and every conversation added a new flavour.
Keeping to its regular format, this Sunday’s Pangata #ପଙ୍ଗତ invited participants to sit in a circle on the floor, share home-cooked delicacies made by young food lovers from Western Odisha, and exchange stories behind them; weaving food, culture, and community into one shared experience.
Here are a few glimpses from this soulful second Pangata at Bhubaneswar, where Odisha’s flavours met its friendships.
