Stone craft is one of the major handicrafts of Orissa.The stone crafts have a great impact on the socio cultural background of Orissa as well. Several archaeological monuments, rock-cut sculpture, carves and magnificent temples testify the claim. The temples of Puri, Konark, Lingaraj, Parasurameshwar and Mukteshwar are just the wonders crafted in stone. Interestingly, this art has automatically passed on to the present generation from their earlier generations.

Stone carving is an age-old craft of Orissa. The descendants of the artisans who once scaled the excellence in temple building have kept the sculptural tradition of stone craft alive. The carved products include replicas of temples, images of gods and goddesses, the Konark wheel and horse, and decorative figurines like alasa kanya , salabhanjika lekhika etc. these are popular home decor also.
