It is one of the Chappan Bhog (56 food items also known as Mahaprasad) offered to the Hindu god Jagannath of Puri as part of the last meal of the day (known as Badaw Singhara Bhogaw).[1] During the Odia festival of Kanji Anla Osha,[2][3] kanji is offered to the Hindu goddess Sathi.

Carbonation causes small bubbles to form, giving the water an effervescent quality. Common forms include sparkling natural mineral water, club soda, and commercially produced sparkling water.
According to reports, Baburaj got into a heated argument with locals when he brought in a few labourers to clean the pond located at his resort, Whitemist Emerald. The pond is one of the main water sources for the neighbours living around the resort and they objected to the cleaning. They contented that they draw water from the pond for their daily use and draining it will cause water shortage during the summer.
For the past so many years, fishes are a very important food for Keralites because of so many water resources filled with plenty of edible fish. Apart from buying or doing large-scale fishing, most villagers tend to catch fish from local water bodies. Many people generate livelihood through fishing. Fish is also exported from Kerala on a large scale.
