There is a myth associated with the initiation of this festival. It is said that Lord Siva was searching for a secluded place, where he could go and meditate.

On the advice of Narada, he went to the Ekamra Kanan (forest) of India and began meditating. It is at this place that he got settled as Lord Lingaraj, along with His consort, Goddess Parvati. The forest was called Ekamra Kanan (forest), owing to its extensive vegetation of mango trees. Ekamra Utsav is actually a multi disciplinary event comprising of the National Handloom Exhibition (consisting of fabrics gathered from the famous textile centers of Orissa).

Its other attractions include Folk Dance Festival, Food Festival (offering several kinds of cuisine, domestic and international both) and National Handicrafts Exhibition. The Folk Festival consists of puppet shows that depict scenes from Indian epics, like Ramayana and Mahabharata.
