LANGUDI HERITAGE SITE
Salepur, Jajpur, Odisha, India
Langudi is a Buddhist Heritage Site in Odisha located on the plains of Mahanadi Delta in the district of Jajpur. This long stretch of hills is lacking with vegetation but is clustered with several Khondalite rocks. The hill houses a series of rock cut Buddhist Stupas and few Buddhist Shrines dated back from early medieval that make it one of the top tourist attractions of the district. The excavation carried out here uncover two panels of rock cut caves and Dhyani Buddhas.
The first panel dates back from 1st-4th centuries that consists of the series of 34 Stupas. Of these, the centre one in the series is the largest Stupa flanked by Vidyadharas that tells the specimen of the stunning craftsmanship. However, there is one more feature of the series that include a floral tribute to Stupas. Coming on to the second panel, which traces its history from 8th-10th centuries, it includes Stupas, Buddhas in Dhyani Mudras, Goddess Tara-the Seafaring Goddess, Avalokitesvaras-deities of Vajrayana Pantheon, Prajnaparamita-the holy mother of all the celestial Dhyani Buddhas.
