Unveiling the Forgotten Glory of Ancient Kalinga

Once a radiant gem of the ancient Indian Mahajanapadas, Kalinga stood tall with its cultural excellence, majestic architecture, profound spirituality, and scholarly traditions — long before the 6th century B.C. From the brilliance of its aqueduct systems to the grandeur of its forts, theatres, and temples, Kalinga was not just a civilization — it was a way of life.

Our Inspiration: The Great King Kharavela

Our journey is led by the legacy of Mahameghavahana Kalinga Adhipathi Airaraja Shree Shree Sushyamala Kharavela — a warrior, patron of the arts, and symbol of cultural resurgence. Though his contributions lie etched in edicts and gemstones from the Lapis Lazuli Era, modern understanding of his reign remains fragmented. We aim to uncover and present his story, one layer at a time.
