One of the most striking aspects of Odishan woodcraft is its religious significance. The state is home to numerous temples adorned with exquisite wooden carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. These carvings not only serve as decorative elements but also convey spiritual messages, capturing the essence of devotion and faith.

Experience the rich tradition of wooden craftsmanship in Odisha, reflecting the state’s rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted in tradition and spirituality. Admire the intricately carved wooden doors depicting figures of Lord Buddha, Lord Krishna, the gopis, and Ganesha, each telling a unique story through their detailed craftsmanship. From intricately carved doors to elaborate sculptures, Odisha’s woodcraft tradition spans centuries and encompasses a wide range of themes and styles.

One of the highlights of this display is the traditional palanquin, once used to transport brides to their in-laws’ place, and also the royal or the colonial zamindars in the ceremonies, where these exquisite pieces were once integral, now preserved as a symbol of cultural heritage.
