"Extended from 17ª49' -22ª 34'N latitude and from 81ª 29'E-87ª 29'E longitude the state of Orissa has very beautiful topography and is well equipped with all sorts of natural sources. "It started its political career with the rule of the Nanda dynasty of Magadha and enjoyed the prosperous regime of the King Kharavela. After the downfall of Kharavela different dynasties ruled over the territory up to the end of twelfth century A.D. All these dynasties tried to bring more and more land under cultivation by giving grants of lands and villages to Brahmanas and religious institutions.

Many scholars have studied these place names for tracing the historical geography of the region but these names have rarely been taken into account for tracing the cultural history of region. "Present volume presents the culture of Orissa as gleaned from place names mentioned in the inscriptions of the different dynasties and gives much emphasis on the meaning of the place names. The data obtained is corroborated and supplemented wherever possible and necessary with the evidence obtained from other sources (archaeological, literary, sculptural and epigraphical) and has been arranged under different heads such as 447 pp. Seller Inventory # 48574
