Gallery information:

These photographs are from the “Hindu heritage” of the Odisha state museum in Bhubaneswar. This gallery features significant Hindu deities like Bhairava, the terrifying protector form of Shiva, and Ganesha, the Lord of wisdom, whose rare images span the 7th to 14th centuries. It also displays the war god Kartikeya, known for his spear and peacock. Additionally, the collection highlights the ancient tradition of Naga Worship, showcasing serpent figures, some dating back to the 1st century B.C., underscoring the enduring religious heritage of India, especially in Orissa.
