Jagannatha temple, Puri, Odisha, India.
The major cities of Odisha located in the coastal region include Bhubaneshwar, Cuttack, Brahmapur, and Puri.1
Additionally, Baleshwar and the port city of Paradip are also situated within the coastal plains of the state. These urban centers are part of the heavily populated, irrigated rice-farming region that characterizes Odisha's coastal geography. Other prominent cities in the state, such as Raurkela and Sambalpur, are located in the northwestern interior rather than the coastal region.231
