Bhuban Patra is an author by choice and a traveller by heart.
Born in Balasore and raised in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, Bhuban discovered his passion for storytelling through his explorations across the region. What began as a blog documenting the forgotten monuments, rich heritage, and untold stories of Odisha soon evolved into a deeper creative journey. His spontaneous photography and keen cultural sensibilities led him from the trails of history to the realms of fiction.
His debut novels, Lotus Land (Fiction) and Where is Ekamra (Non-Fiction), were widely appreciated for their emotional depth and narrative sensitivity. Lotus Land was shortlisted among the Top 5 for the Cover Prize Award by Oxford Bookstore, while Where is Ekamra was recognised among the Top 100 Debut Novels of 2019. The latter also earned Bhuban a place among the Top 100 Authors, certified by Literature Light and Canon Beam Journals.
