Item description
Odisha is full of archaeological treasures dating from the prehistoric times up-to the end of the Muslim rule in the middle of the sixteenth century. The excavations at Sisupalgarh testify to the presence of a highly developed early historic civilization in Odisha. The caves of Khandagiri and Udayagiri represent Odisha’s cave architecture dating back to the 1st century B.C. The caves were cutout in the solid rock on the orders of King Kharavela for the the Jain ascetics. There are altogether 18 caves in Udayagiri and 15 caves in Khandagiri. The caves are decorated with sculptural motifs.The Ranigumpha cave is a two storeyed structure and bears highly artistic sculpture.The sculptures of Khandagiri and Udayagiri form a landmark in the history of Indian art. They present a vivid picture of the contemporary society and occupy an important place in the rock – cut architecture of India. Like Jainism, Buddhism also provided inspiration for the development of art and architecture. It was Emperor Ashoka who directed the entire state machinery for the dissemination of Buddhism.We find two versions of his major rock edicts in Odisha, One at Dhauli and the other at Jaugada. The archaeological excavation at Ratnagiri has brought to light the remains of a main stupa, 2 viharas and 8 temples containing Buddhist images.
