There are many cultural similarities between Odisha and Maharashtra. In both the places, the festivals are given importance throughout the year. There are some festivals like Lord Jagannath's Rath Yatra which is in Odisha and not in Maharashtra. Nowadays Ganeshpuja takes place in both the places, with full fanfare. Ganesha Puja takes place in almost every school in Odisha, which also happens in Maharashtra. There are many festivals, such as 'Pola' which is known by some other name in Odisha. There is also a similarity in food habit in both places. But there is a little difference in the food and there is also diversity. In the apparels, you will see ladies wear sarees in both the States. Men use dhoti more. Kurtas are popular here but slightly less than Maharashtra. The language which is in Odisha, the language has much more similarity. Both are taken from Sanskrit.
And in phonetics, pronunciations like 'ण'. Very few regional language used ‘ण’. Such thing is not found in the South. It will not be found in this either. They pronounce 'ण' as ‘न’. It is also not available in the North. But it is here in Maharashtra. There is also a cultural similarity to some extent since Shivaji Maharaj had reached Odisha border. There are many places of Orissa today which were ruled by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Answer:
Maharashtra is the third largest state of India. It has a long history of Marathi saints of Varakari religious movement, such as Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, Chokhamela, Eknath and Tukaram which forms the one of bases of the culture of Maharashtra or Marathi culture.[1] Maharashtra had huge influence over India under the 17th-century king Shivaji of the Maratha Empire and his concept of Hindavi Swarajya which translates to self-rule of people.[2]
Ganesh Chaturthi, a popular festival in the state
The state of Maharashtra spans multiple cultures which includes cultures related to Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Christians, etc. Lord Ganesha, Maruti, Mahadeo in form of Shivlinga, Khandoba , Kalubai devi, and Lord Vitthal are some of the deities worshipped by Hindus of Maharashtra.
Maharashtra is divided into various regions, such as Marathwada, Vidarbha, Khandesh, and Konkan. Each has its own cultural identity in the form of different dialects of Marathi language,[3] folk songs, food, and ethnicity.The stunning architectures, history, dialects, vibrant art music and dance forms make Odisha ever sprightly state of India. Odisha (formerly known as Orissa), the battleground for the famous Kalinga war fought by Ashoka the Great, lies on the country's east coast. When the sun rises here, it rises over a land of temples thriving on top of a solid foundation laid by heritage. Life is uncomplicated, laid back and it doesn't take much to find some hush and quiet here. As opposed to the hustle and bustle of metropolitan concrete jungles, Odisha comes as a sigh of relief to the one seeking the peace of mind. Be it the temples of the capital city Bhubaneswar, the Buddhist Shanti Stupa of Dhaulagiri Hills or exotic birds that can be spotted at Asia's largest brackish water lagoon Chilika Lake, Odisha is worth paying a visit!
