Mumbai's Ekaa collaborated with The Belgadia Palace situated in Mayurbhanj in Odisha and Suntory Roku Gin to showcase the unexplored treasures of Odisha in a two-day pop-up in the city. This initiative, led by Chef Niyati Rao aims to celebrate and preserve the rich, underrepresented culinary and cultural heritage
of Odisha.

At its heart, this collaboration is more than a dining experience; it is an homage to Odisha’s culinary heritage. Partnering with Maharajkumari Mrinalika and Akshita
M Bhanj Deo, the 48th generation of the Bhanj Dynasty and custodians of The Belgadia Palace, Ekaa’s team has delved deep into the rich history and diverse
flavors of Mayurbhanj. The aim is to bring back not only the unique ingredients and techniques of the region but the stories behind them—stories that deserve a
place on the national culinary map.
