Koraputia Dhemsa Creates History with Guinness World Record Performance on the Foundation Day of Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport

Bhogapuram, Aug 3 [UDN}:Andhra Pradesh, the inclusion of the Koraputia Dhemsa dance in the Guinness World Records is a matter of immense pride for Odisha and the rich tribal heritage of the undivided Koraput district.
This remarkable achievement is not merely a world record; it is a prestigious global recognition of one of the most treasured traditional folk dances of the undivided Koraput region. The historic accomplishment of the Koraputia Dhemsa dance has brought international attention to the artistic excellence, cultural identity, and vibrant tribal traditions of Koraput. It has also given a new and distinguished identity to the talented artists, tribal communities, and the cultural heritage of the entire state of Odisha.
Such recognition serves as a powerful inspiration for future generations, encouraging them to take pride in their roots, preserve their indigenous traditions, and carry forward the legacy of their ancestors. Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the artists, performers, organizers, and everyone whose dedication and hard work made this historic achievement possible.
However, it is unfortunate that many people in Koraput itself—the very land where this unique dance and cultural tradition originated—are still not fully aware of the significance of this extraordinary global recognition. This clearly reflects the lack of adequate awareness, promotion, and appreciation of our own cultural identity.
It is therefore essential for the government, the Department of Culture, educational institutions, media, and society as a whole to work together to ensure that this glorious achievement reaches every household. Greater efforts should be made to educate people about the history, importance, and global recognition of the Koraputia Dhemsa dance.
Knowing our heritage, preserving it, promoting it, and taking pride in it are the truest forms of respect we can offer to our ancestors and to the rich cultural legacy they have entrusted to us. This historic recognition should become a symbol of unity, identity, and inspiration for every Odia, especially the people of the undivided Koraput region, motivating them to safeguard and celebrate their priceless tribal culture for generations to come.
