Mayurbhanj (Baripada & Khiching)

A tribal-royal district beyond Simlipal, with Odisha's second-biggest Rath Yatra

The district town of Baripada hosts one of India's oldest chariot festivals outside Puri, while nearby Khiching holds the ruins of an ancient temple capital -- both distinct from the Simlipal forest that shares the district.
