Concept And Philosophy Concept And Philosophy

Kala Bhoomi has the panache to take us back to the future. The bandwidth needs to be built. The civil society organisations of Odisha should lend hand to the management of Kala Bhoomi. In many ways Kala Bhoomi can contribute to the ‘Look East’ policy of the governments.

The vernacular landscape of Odisha was studied as a means to understand the key factors that could be used as an ‘essence’ for approaching landscape design for the Museum. For this, the landscape architecture team visited places including Puri. Cuttack, Baripada, Similipal and Old Bhubaneshwar to seek cues.

The experience of seeing the Jagganath Puri Rathas being built provided a key point of reference regarding the blurred boundaries between craft, folklore, tradition and natural resources.

Tribal gallery: tribal photographs, textiles, weapons, house-hold implements, agricultural implements, tribal jewelleries, musical instruments, etc.

Handlooms: 114 sarees from different districts of Odisha and modern gallery.

Spanning across 12.68 acres at Pokhariput, Kala Bhoomi features 10 galleries, 8 of which are open. The galleries cover terracotta, traditional paintings, stone and wood carving, metal crafts, natural crafts, tribal crafts, pre-weaving techniques and sericulture and handlooms. A unique feature of the museum is the outdoor display sections in the form of courtyards.

Terracotta: votive horses, grain containers, lacquer dolls, roof tiles, etc.

Traditional painting: Pattachitra, palm leaf engraving, wooden toys, etc.

Stone and wood gallery: royal doors, treasury box, stone artefacts, fragmented stones, wooden panel, bamboo hand cover, wooden pieces of different gods, etc.
