Mute
stones are transformed into living expressions,
the testimony of which is found on the walls
of the well known Konark and Puri temples. The
craftsmen, who have carried the heritage through
generations, continue the age old tradition
even today. The stone carvers from Puri, Bhubaneswar,
Lalitgiri and Khiching today create imaginative
objects for the modern men. The tools the artisans
use are few and simple and consist mainly of
hammers and chiseld of various shapes and sizes
and with the help of these tools the create
the life like statues on stone.
