Indradhanu was launched in 1893 as a separate publication with the support of Utkal Dipika. Attempt was made to print the early issues on coloured paper ? each issue being in one of the seven colours of the rainbow. The magazine had declared itself to be a publication of irregular periodicity like the rainbow and carried articles in support of the classical literature, particulaly the writings of Upendra Bhanja. It also featured some other writings like essay, short biography, comedy and poem. In spite of its limited literary objectives, Indradhanu played an important role in sustaining literary debate and made significant contributions to Odia literature in general.
