Boita Bandana (Odia: ବୋଇତ ବନ୍ଦାଣ boita bandāṇa) also known as Danga Bhasa (Odia: ଡଙ୍ଗା ଭସା ḍaṅgā bhasā), is a traditional Odia festival celebrated annually throughout Odisha, India. The name could be translated as "to float ritual boats and worshipping with lighted lamp" and comes from the tradition of making decorated boats, which are then floated on a river as a symbolic gesture of their ancestors' voyage. A major commemoration of this festival called Bali Jatra is held at Gadagadia Ghata of Cuttack on the banks of Mahanadi river.
