relax. The council of elders meets here too to discuss matters relating to the

welfare of the village.

The open space in font of the dormitory is where youths and maidens

dance with abandon every evening, for tribal culture allows free mixing of the

two sexes. %espite their poverty, the tribes of rissa have retained their rich and

colorful heritage of dance and music. 8very tribal can sing and dance to the

sound of pipe and drum, and give tune to impromptu compositions that come to

himMher as naturally as breathing

The tribal people of rissa observe a string of festivals. #ome are closedaffairs, relating to a birth or death within the family or a daughter attaining

puberty. thers relate to sowing or harvest time and involve the entire

community. (ostly a festival is an occasion for good (ahua li=uorL a game

roasted on the sprit and a night of song and dance is revelry.

6ut that is not the end, there is an animal sacrifice too, for the deities and

sprits must be appeased first, particularly the malevolent ones, so they donFt

unleash drought or sic"ness on the land. Tribal people are superstitious. FjhaF

occupies a position of honor since he not only prescribes medicines for the sic"but is also believed to exorcise evil sprits.

Textiles of Orissa The distinctive hand?woven textiles of rissa in unusual patterns and

vibrant colours have supported a thriving cottage industry employing thousands.

rissa is famous for its sil" i"at weaves created by an intricate process called

the HbandhaH in which warp and weft threads are tie?dyed to produce the pattern

on the loom while weaving. Typical design motifs include rows of birds and

animals, fish, seashells, rudra"sh beads and temple spires.

#ambalpur, 6erhampur, (ayurbhanj and 7uapatna produce a stri"ing

range in tassar sil" with a brilliance, glaze and texture that is unmatched. The

rare sil" fabric produced at 7uapatna in )uttac" district embellished with verses

from the 9itagovinda is used to dress the idols at the >agannath Temple. The

masters are well versed with the centuries old art of sil" worm cultivation and

create sil" ties, stoles, furnishings and dress materials apart from saris.The

6erhampuri $ata are heavy sil" sarees with narrow borders, generally woven

without any intricate motifs. The #a"tapar sari, from the weaving looms of

#ambalpur, 6argarh and #onepur are identifiable by the double i"at

chec"erboard pattern 3passapalli4 and brocade border. The weaving arts of

#ambalpur?#onepur and 7uapatna have greatly influenced each other.

The 6om"ai cotton saris from 9anjam district, named after a tribal

village, have been influenced by tribal art, and are embroidered with temple

spire patterns on the border. The other typical varieties of rissa saris, in sil"

and cotton, include the glossy Dhanduas having elaborate designs, the rich redjotai i"at with rows of stylized trees and temple spires on the borders, the

unbleached cotton "otpad from Doraput offset by a vibrant red dyed border, the

Taraballi and the 6ichitrapuri. The tribal people of the #tate also excel in

producing textiles of myriad hues using vegetable dyes.

(ost of the handloom textiles of rissa are woven in bright and strong

colors. &egetable dyed textiles have given way to chemical dyes, and the former

command a premium wherever available.

order to find out the 'ord 7eela (adhab. &idyapati designed a scheme and got

married to the daughter of Ding &iswavasu. ;alling for the re=uests of his son

in law, &iswavasu lead &idyapati blindfolded to the cave where the deity was

seated. !ntelligent &idyapati had dropped mustard seeds on the path which

assisted him in finding out the place later on.

&idyapati sent the message to the Ding !ndradyumna who immediately

rushed to the place. 6ut to his disappointment, the deity had disappeared in the

sand. !ndradyumna, determined not to return without having the auspicious

darshana of the 'ord observed fast unto death at (ount 7eela. The 'ord &ishnu

pleased with his penance made a celestial voice which declared that the Ding

will get the darshana. Afterwards, the Ding !ndradyumna built a magnificent

temple dedicated to 'ord &ishnu where he placed the idol brought by #age

7arada. 'ater, the "ing received a vision of a certain holy wood log that he

would find at the sea shore out of which he was supposed to ma"e the idols.

Accordingly, he got the idols of 'ord >agannath, 6alarama 36alabhadra4,

#ubhadra and a #udarshan )har"a made and installed them in the temple.

#witching to the factual records, $uri was initially "nown by the name

O)haritraP. The world famous temple of 'ord >agannath was established by a

9anga Ding Anantavarman )hodaganga %eva in 550B A%. Adi

#han"aracharya, the great :indu philosopher and reformer proclaimed $uri as

one of the )har %hams and founded one of the famous four (athas 3:indu

(onastery4 here. !n 5th century this region was reined by the "ings of 9anga%ynasty who increased the religious grandeur of this holy abode. riginally this

temple was called $urusottama Temple which was renamed as >agannath

Temple in 5Bth century during the governance of 9ajapatis. )haitanya

(ahaprabhu, the revered &aishnavite saint from 6engal inhabited $uri in 5Bth

century.

$uri belonged to Data"a province under the rule of (ughals and in 5B5

revenue divisions of this territory. 'ater, during the 6ritish +aj, they annexed

$uri with rissa in the year 5@-0 and in 5@-, $uri was divided into two

sections 7orthern and #outhern. Today $uri is a foremost pilgrim destination

in !ndia and a sacred place to die at.

S+..ESTIO* The first point of action needed from 9overnments is to incorporate

principles into tourism policies at international and national level, and to

promote their inclusion in regional and local tourism strategies. 6y

providing such a lead and establishing a coherent global framewor",

national governments will ma"e a vital contribution to developing a more

sustainable tourism industry.

9overnments should also recognize that Travel E Tourism is a core

service sector which should always be considered when loo"ing at

policies to expand trade, increase employment, modernize infrastructure

and encourage investment ? at both domestic and international level. !t

should also be included in national statistics with its economic impact

calculated by means of a national tourism satellite account.

9overnments should also consider helping Travel E Tourism by see"ing

to minimise regulatory impediments and by offering appropriate

investment incentives. 6y supporting tourism and allowing it to compete

in open and fair mar"ets, tourismPs benefits can be more easily secured .

;inally, governments can address some of the fundamental barriers to

tourism growth by loo"ing at how to expand and modernise

infrastructure, to apply taxes fairly and to invest in human resource

development.

!f the program of action outlined above can be underta"en by national

governments in co?operation with continued industry commitments and

initiatives for sustainable tourism then we can loo" to a brighter future.

There should be ade=uate tourism infrastructure.

O* !+SIO*S;rom the above analysis we come to the conclusion that Travel E

Tourism has a number of advantages over other industry sectorsG it creates jobs

and wealth . At the same time, it can contribute to sustainable developmentL it

tends to have low start?up costsL is a viable option in a wide range of areas and

regionsL the industry is, in a large part, aware of the need to protect the resource

on which it is based local culture and built and natural environment ? and it is

committed to these resourcesP preservation and enhancement.

The industry is, therefore, ma"ing a concerted effort to build up programs for

sustainable development. :owever, it cannot do this alone. !f Travel E Tourism

is to continue to flourish and to contribute to sustainable development, it needs

help from national 9overnments. This assistance is needed in two formsG ? both

positive encouragement for sustainable tourism initiatives and an understanding

that policy decisions in other areas can effect Travel E Tourism. Tourism sector

has a lot of contribution but it has some limitation li"eG?
