The Somavamsis accepted the Varnashrama dharma i.e., traditional division of the society into four Varnas (Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra), and gave the highest status to the Brahmanas. By performing Vedic sacrifices and facilitating the migration of Brahrnanas from northern India through generous offer of land grants the Somavamsi rulers promoted the Brahminisation of the socio-religious life of Odisha as well as the assimilation of the north Indian Sanskritic culture into the Odishan culture. Women enjoyed respectable status in the Somavamsi society. Some of the Somavamsi queens performed important works like the construction of temples. The Queen Kolavatidevi, the mother of Udyota Keshari constructed the Brahmeswar temple at Bhubaneswar. Nevertheless, the status of women appears to have degenerated during this period. The Devadasi practice (the practice of dedicating maidens to the temples) and prostitution were prevalent during this period. The last Somavamsi king, Karnadeva married a dancing girl, named Karpurasri who was born of a Mahari or Devadasi.

    CULTURE OF ODISHA: 10 Things That You Must Know! HY, I am Bhabesh kumar rana from odisha and my language is odia. My Odisha is a confluence of the Aryan, Dravidian and Adivasi cultures. These 10 things are:- 1.Architecture The finesse and grandeur of Odisha's architecture is exhibited in its temples that the Aryans left behind. Some of them are among the finest in the country.

    Vol-3 Issue-4 2017 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Traditional Hand-woven Khandua of Nuapatna and Maniabandha -A Navigation into its Ancestry and Analyzing the Present Dr. (Mrs.) Navaneeta Rath1, Ms.Sasmita Panda2 1. Professor, Department of Sociology, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 2. Associate Professor, Textile Design Department, NIFT, Hyderabad, Telangana Abstract Indian traditional hand woven has a glorious past which had produced some of the exquisitely crafted fabrics mostly in the form of sarees. These sarees have been fascinating with a variety of eye catching colors and traditional motifs with some imaginative designs. They have always appealed the wealthy and royalty who used to patronize the crafts. One such craft is the hand woven “Khandua” saree painstakingly woven by the hand loom weavers of Nuapatna and Maniabandha in Cuttack district of Odisha. These Khandua sarees are woven with mulberry silk yarn and sometimes in combination with cotton or tassar yarn. The fabric is also woven with calligraphy designs taken from the famous epic of “Gita Govinda” written by famous poet Jaydev. These “Khanduas” with calligraphy designs are reverentially offered to Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra and sister Subhadra at Puri Jagannath temple as a ritual by the devotees. “Khandua” is very unique not only in construction but also for its colors, motifs and layouts woven with local soul and universal appeal. Nuapatna and Maniabandha, the two villages and their adjoining areas have a long historical background of weaving typical ikat, tie-dyed cotton and silk fabrics spanning over a few centuries. Both the villages are situated in Athagarh sub division of Cuttack district in the state of Odisha.
