Hukitola Bay and Hukitola Island are located in Odisha, India, north of the Mahanadi river delta. The island was formed from silt deposits. There is a building on the island, which was constructed by British colonists circa 1867 to serve as a rice storehouse.The building has a total plinth area of more than 7,000 square feet carries the proof of excellent British architectural skill with rainwater harvesting system.
