लोग
| नाम | वर्ष | क्षेत्र | किसलिए मशहूर |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upendra Bhanja | c. 1670–1740 | Poet | Born at Kulagarh near present-day Bhanjanagar into the Ghumsur branch of the Bhanja family, and the central figure of Odia riti poetry. He wrote under formal constraints of extraordinary severity — Baidehisha Bilasa has every line beginning with the same syllable — and compiled Geetabhidhana, an early Odia lexicon. His texts are still the core repertoire of Odissi music, which means a Ganjam poet supplies the words for a coastal Odisha classical tradition. |
| Dhananjaya Bhanja | c. 1611–1701 | Poet and ruler | Upendra's grandfather and a Ghumsur ruler who wrote in the same ornate register. The Ghumsur court is the rare case of a small hill-edge estate producing two generations of a language's canonical poets. |
| Krushna Chandra Gajapati Narayan Deo | 1892–1974 | Ruler and public figure | The Paralakhemundi ruler who organised and financed the case for a separate Odia-speaking province, argued it before the Simon Commission and the Round Table Conferences, and saw it created in 1936. The campaign was run from the hill edge of this region rather than from the Odia heartland, because it was this region that stood to be divided. |
| Madhusudan Das | 1848–1934 | Lawyer and organiser | Founder of the Utkal Sammilani in 1903, the body that made the case for uniting Odia-speaking tracts then split between three administrations. His work is the reason the Ganjam question was a question at all. |
| The Sora shamans documented at Puttasing and the Gajapati hills | — | Oral tradition | Not one person but a lineage of practitioners whose funerary dialogues — in which the shaman speaks in the voice of a named dead person and is argued with by the family — were recorded and published in detail by anthropologists from the 1970s onwards, giving this region one of the most closely documented oral traditions in South Asia. |
| Bhanja-era mural painters of Buguda | — | Painting | Anonymous, and known only through the work: the Ramayana cycle painted on the wooden ceiling and walls of the Biranchi Narayan temple, which is the largest surviving Odia wall-painting programme outside manuscript illumination. |
