'''Odra''' was a kingdom located in the northern [[Odisha]] in [[Eastern India]]. This kingdom was mentioned in the epic [[Mahabharata]]. Odras were neighbours to the [[Vanga Kingdom|Vangas]]. It is believed that the [[Odia language]] and the state [[Odisha]] got their names derived from the name "Odra".<br />
<br />
== Reference in Mahabharata ==<br />
Only a single reference of Odra is found in [[Mahabharata]]. The Odras were mentioned along with the [[Vanga Kingdom|Vangas]], [[Anga Kingdom|Angas]] and [[Pundra Kingdom|Paundras]] as bringing tribute for [[Yudhishthira]] for his [[Rajasuya]] sacrifice (3,51).<br />
<br />
There is a mysterious mention of the name [[Kerala Kingdom|Udrakeralas]] in [[Mahabharata]]. It is not known if the word ''Udra'' in the composite word ''Udra-Keralas'' has any relations with ''Odra''.<br />
