Abstract An attempt has been made in this paper to trace the maritime contact and cultural transaction of Odisha with Southeast Asian Countries. Odisha played a vital role in the maritime history of India in spreading Indian culture and tradition to other parts of world specially in Southeast Asia since time immemorial. The state of Odisha was great maritime power in ancient time. According to Historians the history of Odisha’s maritime trade goes back to 2500 years. During the ancient time along with the good maritime trade relation of Odisha with Southeast Asia there were historical and cultural influence of Odisha over Southeast Countries. The great maritime history of Odisha is celebrated every year on Kartika Purnima with the Boita Bandana or Bali Yatra to commemorate her adventurous sea voyages. In “Mahavansa”, a Buddhist text, it is mentioned that in 6th century B.C a prince from Kalinga established Sinhalese Dynasty in Sri Lanka. In many Southeast Countries like Java, Sumatra, Sinhala, Malaya and Bali still the remnants of Kalingan history and culture reflects. The merchant of Kalinga established colonies in various places of Southeast Asia and Indianised the region. An ethnic group of people from Kalinga established colony in Java which is evident from the term “Kling race of Java” which is gradually attributed to Kalinga People. In Indonesia there is an area call “Kaulingam” in the Iriyan Jaya region which belong to Kalinga.
