Aryan Oriyas hailing from the fertile & prosperous Mogolbandi Orissa, the eastern, coastal plains of Orissa. As
opposed to the Garjatia Oriyas, who hail from the remote & inaccessible mountainous Garjatia Orissa.

Mogolbandi Oriyas are distinguished from other Oriyas by their speaking the prestigious Mughalbandi Oriya dialect
(considered the best dialect & hence called "standard" Oriya), the refined Iranianate or Persianate influence on
their civilization, the higher percentage of Prakrit & Sanskrit words, the greater number of Aryan Brahmins, the
lower percentage of Shudras & Adivasis, & the consequent weaker influence of Dravidian & Kolarian culture.
Mogolbandi Oriyas are extremely proud of all these aspects of their culture. In terms of religion, most Mogolbandi
Oriyas follow Jagannath Vaishnavism, with Mogolbandi Oriya Muslims comprising a small but visible fraction of the
population, along with a few animist & Shaivite Dravido-Kolarian Shabaras (Negroid-Australoid Aboriginals).

The plural of Mogolbandi is "Mogolbandiyya", & connotes Mogolbandi or Mughalbandi Oriyas.
