The Oriya, classically known in various names Odiya, Odri, Utkaliya, Kalingi, Dakhini Kosli etc.(IPA: [jʊrz]; Latin: Uri), are an ethnic group of eastern India and of eastern Indo-Aryan stock. They are found primarily in the coastal province of Orissa, with minority populations in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. The Oriya people are known for their history of Sun worship, and Orissa is home to some of the oldest Sun temples in India, including Konark. They can trace their history to the early Indo-Aryan Kalingas, who built a mighty eastern coastal empire here that was later absorbed into the Mauryan empire. There are also descendants of the Dravidian peoples, now found chiefly in South India, and the early Austro-Asiatic peoples, whose tribal descendants still live in large numbers in Orissa[citation needed].
A well known festival, popular among the Oriya people, is the Ratha Yatra in Puri, Orissa.
There is a significant population of Oriyas in Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.[2]
Oriya were previously known as klings who uded to do oversees business in the pre jesus eras.

Ethnic groups of India |
|
This tree diagram depicts the relationships of the major ethnic, linguistic and religious groups in India. For example, an H under Gujarati implies a Hindu, Gujarati-speaking Indian of Indo-Aryan ancestry. However this is not a hard and fast rule. For example, in India many members of the Muslim community are of Arab, Iranian or Turkish, and Afghan origins and the Christian community are of Jew and European origins. This list excludes caste groups like the Dalits which is a socio-political identity across linguistic, religious and racial lines. Indeed, it should be noted that the terms ' Indo-Aryan' and ' Dravidian' refer more to the linguistic difference rather than racial differences.
