Phulta is a village in Ganjam, Odisha, India. It is several kilometers away from the city of Berhampur.
The village should not be confused with Fulta or Fultah in Bengal where in 1756, a multitude of British settlers sought refuge after the nawab Siraj ud-Daulah took control of Calcutta. That Fulta is on the Hooghly River, some 20 miles south of Calcutta. Admiral Watson and Robert Clive were at Fulta around 6 December 1756, preparing to attack Calcutta.
