How does a quick trip to Odisha this afternoon sound? We promise it’s not too late. A VR filmmaker and a tech expert are taking us on an immersive virtual journey to the eastern state’s wild side, straight from a Bandra studio. Built on footage captured from the streets and an erstwhile hunting reserve in Mangarajpur, the experience will come to life with a live Odissi dance, piping hot Koraput coffee and a sweet treat to end the day.
