Ornaments of Orissa: A Study by Late Ramesh Prasad Mohapatra, Edited by Thomas Donaldson (Vintage Hardcover)

Description

The present work envisages a study of Odisha/Orissa’s Jewelary from the earliest time to the beginning of the 16th Century, based on the archaeological evidences and literary corroborations. Odisha (Orissa), as is well known, is dotted with a large number of monuments. These monuments include caves, Temples, viharas, stupas and stray sculpture. Odisha (Orissa), in fact, is a true repository of its ancient culture, with particular reference to Jewelary. But this aspect remained neglected so far. Here is a genuine attempt to collect, classify, narrate and illustrate the innumerable varieties of jewelaries as evidenced by the sculpture of India/Odisha (Orissa). This is a very humble attempt to bring to light the saga of Indian jewelaries and put them in perspective vis-a-vis the glorious history of India and Odisha(Orissa).
