Cuttack Gears Up for Bali Yatra 2025 with Revamped Stall Layout

Cuttack, Odisha — The iconic Bali Yatra, one of Odisha’s largest cultural and trade fairs, is set to return from November 5 to 12, 2025, with a fresh layout designed to enhance visitor experience and safety.

In a strategic move finalised during a meeting chaired by the District Collector, organisers announced that stalls will be restricted to the lower ground level, eliminating upper platform setups.

This change aims to improve crowd management, accessibility, and overall safety for the lakhs of attendees expected to throng the venue.

Bali Yatra commemorates Odisha’s ancient maritime legacy and draws participants from across India. Visitors can expect a vibrant showcase of traditional crafts, regional cuisines, cultural performances, and trade exhibitions.

Preparations are already underway, with authorities focusing on sanitation, traffic control, and vendor coordination to ensure smooth execution. The revised layout is anticipated to preserve the fair’s heritage charm while offering a more organised and enjoyable experience.
