Along the Bhubaneswar-Puri road lies this small village, which is famous for applique crafts. Applique, in Orissa, is an old temple art.

Applique art is the process of cutting coloured cloth into shapes of animals, birds, flowers, leaves and other decorative motifs and stiching them on to a piece of cloth that can be used as lamp shade, a hand bag or even garden umbrella.The best example of this craft can be seen on the enormous canopies above the reigning deity of Puri, Lord Jagannath.
