Date: July 26, 2017, Time: 11 am, Venue: Swosti Chilika Resort. This event meant more than just an inaugural of a high end resort experience for the owner of the Swosti Group, J K Mohanty. The CM of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik, did the honours as chief guest along with a host of delegates from both the public and the private sectors of the state. A project that brought in design experts from Thailand to translate the vision into a real view, has been inspired by nature, being built in-sync with the surroundings, that which is one of the most rich in bio-diversity, the very exclusive Chilika Lake area. The resort is also strategically located close to an interesting water sports activity zone at the Biju Patnaik park, which was also inaugurated that very day. The jetty service takes you over to a unique experience on the Chilika Lake and if luck is with you, you can spot the rare and stunning sight of the Irrawaddy dolphins. For bird watchers, this resort is ideal as the entire belt offers some special experiences with respect to exotic migratory birds.
