Chandua is an art culture that came into being around the 12th century, under the reign of Maharaja Birakshore of Puri, who ordered the local people or artisans to make stitched cloth or garments to offer Lord Jagannath. They started creating apparel, cloth, and even paperwork in their style, which gave rise to a new type of art culture in the town of Pipili.
🌸
They patented making embroideries, a craft that consists of creating colorful decorations using ribbons, glass, mirrors, paper, cotton cloths, velvet, thread, and more, which they started selling not only for rituals but also as household products. They used their skill to create works that resemble flowers, birds, patterns, and stories of the Odia history, all of which was reflected in the variety of products, such as lampshades, bed sheets, wall hangings, shamianas, purses etc.

Cuttack is known as the Silver City, by witnessing its Tarakashi (silver filigree) craft. In fact, it is the silver filigree work that has put in the world map. The city is home to nearly 2000 Tarakashi artisans who had inherited the craftsmanship from their forefathers. The filigree workshops can be found at Dolomundai, Nayasarak, Choudhary Bazaar, Balu Bazaar and BaniaSahi, among other places in the city.
🌸
The craft, which dates back to 500 years, includes creating thin strands of silver wires that are used to make a wide range of jewellery, utility items and exquisite showpieces and utensils that are marketed globally. Artisans bend these silver wires into different sizes and create designs out of them.
🌸
The beauty of Tarakashi craft can be seen during the famed Durga Puja of Cuttack when, the idol of the Goddess is put up against a massive backdrop that is designed with only silver filigree. Every Durga Puja pandal uses backdrops made up of silver filigree during the festival.

While younger Pandava brothers, Arjuna, Bhima, Nakula, and Sahadeva, resided here under the Jalauka hills, the eldest brother Yudhishthira lived in the nearby Rudrapur village with mother Kunti. The Pandavas used to worship Lord Vishnu here.
