Description
The Mahanadi River Valley has long been regarded as a land rich in Kamakala, Uddiyana-Pitha, and erotic art. Kamakala signifies the art of desire, symbolizing the divine union of male and female principles. The region is also home to the Uddiyana-Pitha, associated with Lord Shiva and the Yogini cult.
This book provides an in-depth exploration of the Mahanadi River Valley's contributions to esoteric yogic sadhanas (spiritual practices), analyzing archaeological remains and antiquities, particularly sculptures, to trace the evolution of the Yogini cult. It highlights the cosmic significance of the Yoginis, the development of the Bhairava cult, and the role of Mattamayura Shaivism in shaping Orissa’s religious landscape.
The book also examines:
- The origins of the Ganapatya Tantra and the Purushottama Jagannatha cult.
- The connection between sensuous art and Tantric traditions.
- The evolution of erotic art in Orissa, including sculptures, wood carvings, and palm-leaf manuscripts.
Supported by references to ancient texts and modern scholarly research, along with numerous illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and historians interested in Orissan culture, Tantric traditions, and Indian religious art.
