Author : Krishna Chandra Panigrahi (1909-1987) was a scholar of eminence in the field of archaeology and history. A doctorate in history from Calcutta University, his teaching career covered most of the universities of Odisha and later as UGC Professor, was interspersed with intermittent assignments as an archaeologist for 18 years with the Archaeological Survey of India and at the Odisha State Museum. He is remembered in the annals of Indian archeology for his pioneering contributions in the study of pottery. He received critical acclaim for his monumental work ‘Archaeological Remains at Bhubaneswar’, Orient Longman; 1961.

His short stories were published in IIT Madras magazines and his paper on Memoirs of the Central Asian Antiquities Museum, Delhi,1956 & 57 is under publication . As the son of the author, he is privy to the narratives of the original book in large measure. While travelling in India, the USA and other countries, he serendipitously came across scholars of history and archaeology who have used the author’s books for academic references. Their interest in the life of the author and of the then Odisha has acted as an inspiration for this book of translation.
