Nice introductory book about various unique products of Odisha. Thanks for introducing us to the culture and products of Odisha
GI’s are Geographical Indications that make the place unique with its culture, food produced, or other things produced locally. This book focuses on making 17 GI’s for Odisha and the author has even written many posts when the GI for Rasogulla was given to Odisha #RasagolaDibasa. Book starts with the description and explanation of the GI and its procedure to obtain. All the 17 GI’s of Odisha are stated with its features and the exhibition where all GI’s are exhibited. Author has represented 12 of the GI’s in the exhibition and has close knowledge of the handloom which makes the book more authentic to read. I was amazed to know the facts about the Orissa Ikat work and even that verses of Gita Govinda were written on few. Konark Stone carving and the stone artisans hard work and appreciation are mentioned. Gopalpur Tussar Fabrics, and many more details about the GI’s can be found in this book.
It was such a pleasure getting introduced to the unique products from the region and discovering some unknown facts along the way. Very well researched information, and quite an enlightening book!
