After the influx of neo-Vaishnavism from Bengal, the Bengali style in brick temples was introduced in to Orissa. The best examples of the Muhammadan arch and the hut shaped Bengali temples are to be found at Haripur in the Mayurbhañj State.² Nothing remains of the Civil architecture of ancient, mediaeval or modern Orissa. Even the palaces of Pratāparudra (1597-1641), and Mukundadeva (1565-68) at Katak have been ruthlessly destroyed by vandals, both Musalman and Christian. Nothing can be written about the Civil Architecture of Orissa without the help of the excavator's spade.
