Hello!
Me and my family went to Orissa this time for a vacation.If you like history and archaeology you will definitely enjoy yourself.Here are some photos which I took.Hope u like it.
 |
| THESE 2 PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN DHAULAGIRI. IT WAS HERE THAT THE FAMOUS YET SAD AND BLOODY WAR OF KALINGA WAS FOUGHT.ASHOKA BUILT MANY CHAITYAS, STUPAS AND PILLARS HERE.HE TURNED INTO A FOLLOWER OF BUDDHA AFTER HE REALIZED THE MISTAKE HE HAD DONE IN FIGHTING THE WAR. APPARENTLY A TOOTH OF BUDDHA IS ALSO KEPT HERE IN A CASKET. |
 |
| THIS IS A CARVING DONE IN ROCKS AT KONARK TEMPLE.AS YO CAN SEE THERE ARE GIRLS PLAYING DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS AND DANCING. |
 |
| THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PICTURE. AN INTERESTING FEATURE IS THAT THE GIRL IS WEARING HEELS! |
 |
| WOMAN PUTTING SINDOOR. |
 |
| A YAKSHA(DEMON) |
Hope you like these photos.
