In november 2002 I travelled to the state of Orissa in the northeastern part of India. I visited several temples in the cities of Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark. The Temple of the Sun in Konark is decorated with beautiful erotic sculptures. In the interior parts of Orissa I went to villages of ethnic minorities such as the Kondh, Bhonda, Gadaba and Dharua.



Thinking about my days in Orissa this December, I've been inclining to the idea that it would be a great experience to get up away from the coast and see something of the tribal peoples. One kind informant here (Steve Ber) has told me of n overnight train that goes up to Koraput from Balugan. The Rough Guide, however, fairly strongly discourages one from going up to the tribal areas on one's own--permits are (just supposedly? or really?) needed and nearly impossible to obtain, etc. etc. Has anyone else just Showed Up in a Koraput or some other place notable for access to tribal areas and had a good, independent experience? I appreciate your time and patience. -- Cully



What I know and have often said here is two white lady friends of mine bicycled around tribal areas there using Norman Lewis's A Goddess in the Stones as something of their guidebook & had the time of their life. They were in their later twenties and this was in the middle 1990's I reckon. They reported no trouble that I know of, but brought back some incredible pictures instead. (And yes, they were fairly seasoned travelers, to India and other places, although this may well have been their first India trip.)



Vedic Sanskrit literature developed first in an oral form, and was first set down in writting after centuries of oral transmission. The gap between the composition of and the written recording of the literature makes dating difficult, but most of what survives can be assigned either to the Vedic or Classical period. Although the art of oral transmission in a pre-literate society required exact memorization, scholars cannot confidently say how close what was finally recorded in the third century B.C. is to the original composition.
