This POSTHUMOUS publication bridges two major gaps in our understanding of the art heritage of Orissa. First, itis a pioneering attempt at presenting an art history of this region by organising scattered material into a sequential account, from the pre-Aryan archaic styles to the period from the 6th to the 14th century A.D. when temple architecture in Orissa blossomed into what the author considers to be the baroque and the rococo styles.
Secondly, much of our existing knowledge is confined to the well-known structures at Bhubaneswar, Konarak and Puri,all in the coastal region. This volume extends our knowledge inland and unearths part of the enormous but hidden art treasures of Orissa.
