Hukitola
Hukitola Bay and Hukitola Island are located in Odisha, India, north of the Mahanadi river delta.[1] The island was formed from silt deposits.[2] There is a building on the island, which was constructed by British colonists circa 1867 to serve as a rice storehouse.[3] The building has a total plinth area of more than 7,000 square feet, which carries proof of British architectural skill with rainwater harvesting systems.[4]
In late 2013, the building began to be renovated by the State Archaeological Department, with the goal of making it into an eco-tourist spot.[5]
