2. Acknowledgment
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my
teachers and school for providing a golden opportunity
to do this ‘art integrated project’ on the state Odisha .
Through this project I came to know about our country’s
wonderful state Odisha.

3. Odisha, a state in eastern India, is extremely diverse and
gives the state abundance of natural beauty and wildlife. The
districts in the interior are thickly covered by tropical moist
deciduous and tropical dry deciduous forests. The hills,
plateaus and isolated areas of the northeastern part of the
state are covered by the tropical moist deciduous forests
whereas the dry deciduos forests are located in the
southwest region of the state. Some of the trees which grow
in abundance in Odisha are bamboo, teak, rosewood, sal,
piasal, sanghvan and haldi. There are 479 species of birds, 86
species of mammals, 19 species of amphibians and 110 species
of reptiles present in Odisha.

pea, or bean family, are a large and
economically important family of flowering
plants. It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or
annual herbaceous plants, which are easily
recognized by their fruit (legume) and their
compound, stipulate leaves. Many legumes have
characteristic flowers and fruits. The family is
widely distributed, and is the third-largest land
plant family in number of species, behind only the
Orchidaceae and Asteraceae, with about 751
genera and about 19,000 known species.

grow in marine environments. There are about
60 species of fully marine seagrasses which
belong to four families(Posidoniaceae,
Zosteraceae, Hydrocharitaceae and
Cymodoceaceae), all in the order Alismatales (in
the class of monocotyledons). Seagrasses
evolved from terrestrialplants which
recolonised the ocean 70 to 100 million years
ago.
