Working alone on each piece gives each sculpture a special vibration and will always be a unique masterpiece. These artists, descendants of the artisans who built such magnificient temples as Konarak and Jagannath Temples, have kept alive the sculptural traditions of their forefathers.
Their deft hands chisel and carve living mirrors of the original temple sculptures as well as create a numerous other conceptions.
These sculptures are a far cry from the mass-imported Buddhas, Gods and other items, that are turned out by the thousand in cement casts or machine-turned stone, mere soulless ornaments.
Mute stones are transfered into living expressions, the testimony of which are found on the walls of the Konark temples. The craftsmen, descendants of the rich heritage continue the age-old tradition
even today.
