The southern part of Odisha is also having its early stone temple architecture. To understanding the temple architecture of Odisha the temple architecture of the various part of the land must be known. So in the paper we are trying to evaluate the temple architecture through southern part of Odisha. Because there are plenty of early temple architecture has available in the southern odisha. Through the architecture, sculpture of the temple we have to find out the chronological development of Kalingan style of temple architecture. Keywords:Temple, Kalinga Style, Pidhadeula, Rekhadeula, Khakaradeula. Introduction The present state Odisha has rich cultural heritage particularly in art and architecture. The geographical location has made this region exposed to cultural influences from the northern and southern part of India through the ages. Though Odisha was known artistically before Asokan invasion which referred in Hatigumpha Inscription structurally the art and sculpture is clearly indicated beginning with Mauryan rule in India. The Ramakanta Bhuyan evolution of temple in Odisha has mentioned by various scholars where Assistant Professor, most of the scholar concentrate on the temples of Bhubansewar whereas, Deptt. of History, the temple architecture on the other site has been left out. In the present Berhampur University, contexts the article has concentrate upon the temple architecture of South Berhampur, Odisha, Odisha. According to the Kaharavala’s inscriptions, it has indicating that India there was tradition of art in Odisha before Maurya which describe in the Hatigumpha inscription1. The statue of Kalinga Jina was taken away by the Nanda king. It perhaps partly fulfills that the art culture was prevalent in Odisha.Unfortunately there are very lack inquiries about the history before the Kalinga war. The history of Odisha is beginning with the Kalinga war. There is no single evidences has been found regarding the history of Odisha before Mauryas. Since the Maurya occupation of Kalinga, the region has much regional distribution in different period of time through the ages. Geographically, Odisha can be divided into two main part, the first is the coastal plains lands and other part is the hilly regions. The plain land has formed by many major rivers of odisha which flows in the Bay of Bengal. Greater part of the plain land constitute in Balasore, Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam wher most of the people resides. On the other hand, ¾ (three fourth of total area of state are covered by the hills and forests). The hills and forests constitute the north and north west along with the central and western plateaus formed the part of Vindhyan ranges. The hill regions in the Eastern Ghat lies upto the southern Odisha. These areas are particularly dominated by the tribals2. The Eastern Ghat hills pass through the four coastal districts with an extension into the Koraput, Nawarangapur, Rayagada, Malkangiri, Gajapati and Kadhamal. The present state of Odisha was known various names in the ancient and medieval periods. Perhaps there was not a single name by which the whole Odisha was known at present. D. C. Sircar,3 rightly said, “today Odisha which was indicate in ancient time is not entire Odisha”. The geographical names not only covered parts of odisha but also of other territories, the names of territorial units to which particular areas belonged often changed. The boundaries of such units also sometimes varied time to time. The present Odisha or Orissa during the British rule may have been derived from the word Odra. Much probably this denoted an area in the past. It is very difficult to find the exact extent the country Odra. According to the Soro Copper plate of Somadatta a feudatory of 100 P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 RNI No.UPBIL/2016/67980 VOL-3* ISSUE-12* March- 2019 E: ISSN NO.: 2455-0817 Remarking An Analisation Harshavardh an and Hsuen Tsang account give some providing some logical beginning to know the information.

Many of the inscriptional and literary sources tell about social system of Odisha during the Bhaumakara Period. Many of the scholars study it but anybody not clearly mention which of the question raise this paper. The Bhaumakara grant tells various titles like Paramsaugata, Parambhattarak, Tathagata etc¹ but the scholar and historian analysis it the Bhuamakaras are followed and patronized Buddhism but many of the land grant goes to Brahmans. It is clear that the Brahmans are staying and maintain high class in the society. If In Odisha the Brahman are lived with a high standard living style so after the Bhaumakara fallen the Somyavamsi king Yayati I why calling the ten thousand Brahman from the Kanauj²? Another question is that if he calling for the Aswamedha sacrifice then why he donate village for the permanent settlement?

  • Single Footed Deities: Glimpses from Art and Literature
    Single Footed Deities: Glimpses from Art and Literature Prachi Virag Sontakke1 1. Arya Mahila P.G. College, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India (Email: prachi.kushwaha @gmail.com) Received: 28 June 2015; Accepted: 03 August 2015; Revised: 10 September 2015 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 3 (2015): 608‐617 Abstract: Deities of religious pantheon are divine and hence they are attributed divine forms. The divinity of Gods is further glorified by conceiving their appearance as super natural. That is why we find Gods and Goddesses with multiple arms, heads and even limbs. These traits assert the power, superiority and divinity of deities before man. It is therefore very interesting to note that there is one such deity who is defined in literature and sculptural examples as having a single foot. Current paper is an attempt to understand the concept of emergence and development of this very single footed deity in India. In course of aforesaid trail, issues relating to antiquity of such a tradition, nomenclature of such deity, its identification with different Gods, respective iconography are also dealt with. Keywords: Ekpada, Antiquity, Art, Literature, Identification, Iconography, Chronology Introduction Iconography, though meant for art, is actually a science. Every aspect an icon is not only well defined but also well justified according to the iconographic principles laid down in the texts. When it came to sculpture making, artist’s freedom of portrayal and experimentation was rather limited. But this did not account for the lack of creativity and imagination in ancient Indian art. We have many examples where unrealistic depictions/forms were included in an icon to highlight the divine, supreme and all powerful aspect of deity and to make it different from ordinary humans.

Its rich artistic legacy permeates through time, into modern decor, never deviating from the basics. Each motif or intricate pattern, draws its inspiration from a myth or folklore, or from the general ethos itself. Covered by the dense forests, soaring mountains, sparkling waterfalls, murmuring springs, gurgling rivers, secluded dales, deep valleys, captivating beaches and sprawling lake, Odisha is a kaleidoscope of past splendor and present glory. Being the meeting place of Aryan and Dravidian cultures, with is delightful assimilations, from the fascinating lifestyle of the tribes, Odisha retains in its distinct identity, in the form of sculptural art, folk art and performing art. The architectural wonders of Odisha must be seen in the Jain caves, which speak about the fine artistry of Odisha’s craftsmen, in the bygone era. The Odias displayed their remarkable creative power, in the Jain sculptural art. While they built their caves like giants, they sculptured the caves like master artists. The theme of these sculptures was so varied, for the artist and his imagination so deep that, as if, he was writing an epic on the surface of the stone. KEYWORDS: Art, Architecture, Sculpture, Prolific INTRODUCTION Odisha has a rich and unique heritage of art traditions, beginning from the sophisticated ornate temple architecture, and sculpture to folk arts, in different forms.
