Orissa: Handicrafts
A
Rich Legacy of an Ancient Culture
Legends lace
Orissa. Temples dot her landscape. On her streets Gods walk among men.
Famous for the beauty and craftsmanship of Konark, Jagannath, Lingaraja
and innumerable other temples, Orissa offers a striking selection of
decorative and utilitarian arts and crafts.
Visual manifestations of a
millennium of Orissan culture, these arts and crafts embody and reflect a
tradition, which still lives in the creative imagination and skill of her
craftsmen.
A Collector's Delight
Look
at any handicraft of Orissa. The appliqué works of Pipipi or
Patachitras and Papier Mache masks of Puri: silver filigree jewellery and
golden grass mats of Cuttack or 'Katki' and Ikkat sarees of Cuttack and
Sambalpur or Dhokra and clay toys of Mayurabhanj and Barapali and Lacquer
work of Nawrangpur or Horn work of Parlakhemundi or the flexible brasss
fish of Ganjam, each handicraft esudes a charm and originality of its own
and pristine beauty that remained untouched by time. The beauty and charm
of Orissi handicrafts mirrors heritage in its past and present flowing
into eternity. Places
