Art Elsewhere During Medieval Period
Indian art From Indus valley to India today Talk 8 Art elsewhere during medieval period G Chandrasekaran S Swaminathan Following the golden track of the Gupta-s in the north It was Harshavardhana (7th century CE) who took over the mantle of the Guptas in the North. Along with his contemporaries in the Deccan, the Chalukyas and in the South, the Pallavas and the Rashtrakutas the period is truly momentous. Harshavardhana, a man of letters as vouched by the three plays written by him Nagananda, Ratnavali and Priyadarshika, he was a man of arts too. Harshavardhana, 7th century CE The pearl-bedecked, the elegantly braid-decorated with pearls, flowers and sprigs, the curls nestling on the forehead, the dreamy eyes, and the transparent dress with its neat embroidery make it one of the finest creations of the Indian sculptor's chisel.

Contribution of the Somavamsis to the Odishan Culture: a Critical Analysis
EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH Vol. II, Issue 11/ February 2015 Impact Factor: 3.1 (UIF) ISSN 2286-4822 DRJI Value: 5.9 (B+) www.euacademic.org Contribution of the Somavamsis to the Odishan Culture: A Critical Analysis Dr. ABHIJIT SAHOO Lecturer in History KIIT School of Social Sciences (KISS) India Introduction: The two hundred years rule of the Somavamsis form a magnificent era, in the cultural heritage of Odisha. For the first time Kalinga, Utkala, Kongoda and Kosala were unified and brought under one political authority. The uniform pattern of administration, removed disorder and confusion throughout the state and paved the way for a cultural synthesis leading to the emergence of a unique Odia culture. The Odishan temple architecture took a concrete form during the Somavamsis and the kingdom basked in the golden glow of peace and prosperity. Their multiple activities in various fields ushered in a new epoch in the political and cultural history of Odisha and for that they have remained immortal in the minds of the Odishan people.1 The Somavamsis are also known as the Panduvamsis in the archives of history. They belonged to the family of Moon (Chandra) and were Kshatriya by race. In ancient times, the Kshatriya traced their origin either from the Sun or Moon. Similarly, the Somavamsis took credit of belonging to the lunar family. The Somavamsis were, perhaps, the direct descendants of the Pandava dynasty and so, they are also known as the Panduvamsis. They ruled over Mekala, identified with the modern Maikal range in Madhya Pradesh. The history of the Panduvamsis before fifth century A.D. -
Art Heritage of Orissa
OHRJ, Vol. XLVII, No. 3 ART HERITAGE OF ORISSA Gitarani Praharaj & Chittaranjan Mallia Orissa has witnessed ceaseless human endeavour in the field of art, craft, sculpture and temple building activities for about 2500 years during her recorded history. Endowed with nature’s beauty and bounty, Orissa boasts of a rich cultural heritage and tradition of music, dance, dramatics, art & crafts of many splendoured varieties and forms; which elegantly emanate from its magnificent monuments, ancient caves, rock-cut sculptures and innumerable temples found still intact with all its prestine glory and grandeur. This holy land with a hoary past, offers the quintessence of the multifaceted cultural profiles of Indian panorama. Art in all its myriad forms is so deeply ingrained in this state that the routine chores of the folk styles take sublime aesthetic expression of magnificent diction in intangible performing art idioms. Prehistoric & Protohistoric: The wooded hinterland of the state beyond Eastern Ghats is the store house of earliest rock paintings. At Ushakothi and Manikmunda in Sundargarh district, Bikramkhol in Jharsuguda district and Gudahandi and Yogimath in Kalahandi, there are upper Paleolithic rock paintings (in red ochre or Hematite) and rock bruising. The painting on the facade of a cave at Gudahandi is exuberantly realistic. The hunting scene of a man throwing a stone missile at a running bison is of high artistic excellence. Maurya, Meghavahana and Gupta Art tradition: The history of Orissan art and architecture is corelated with her early history which starts from 261 B.C., when Ashok conqured Orissa, then known as Kalinga. The earliest specimen of Orissan art is the colossal figure of the foreport of an elephant carved on the top of the boulder containing Ashoka’s edicts at Dhauli about five miles from Bhubaneswar. -

Bhubaneswar‐ Bhitarkanika & Puri
Itineraries of Odisha 5N/6Days Bhubaneswar‐ Bhitarkanika & Puri. Day 01‐ Bhubaneswar Upon arrival at Bhubaneswar Airoprt/ Rly. Stn. Transfer to hotel. Bhubaneswar Known as the “Temple City”,founded during the Kalinga empire over 3,000 years ago, Bhubaneswar today boasts of a cluster of magnificent temples, which once boasted of more than 2000 temples. still preserves over 500 of India's finest temples. If time permits visit Lingaraj Temple Constructed in 650 A.D. this temple is a unique specimen of Oriyan style of architecture. The most special feature of this temple is the presence of one thousand lingas in the north-west corner of the complex.. Dedicated to Lord Shiva as the name suggests, the temple was built sometime in the 7th century by the King Jajati Keshari. The Lingraj Temple houses a Shivalingam that rises to a massive height of 8 inches above the floor level and is about 8 feet in diameter as well. Lingaraj Temple is a spectacular specimen of Orissa style of temples with a hint of Kalinga style of architecture, covering a vast area of 2,50,000 sq ft., stand tall 180 ft.As many as 150 smaller shrines dot the temple complex. Non Hindus are not allowed inside the temple. sThen visit Rajarani temple A popular 11th-century the Raja Rani Temple is locally known as the 'love temple' because it contains some sensuous carvings of women and couples. No images can be found inside the sanctum, and hence the temple is not associated with any particular sect of Hinduism. This is perhaps exactly where the charm of the temple comes from: the temple belongs to no specific sect and is open to all people irrespective of the deity that they worship and admire. -
