Foundation stone sign of Jayadev Bhawan (earlier Soochana Bhawan), Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. The Odia writing has a handwriting style influenced by the Karani script. Marble signs are made by hand/machine carving. This piece was made during the hand carving days. Hand-lettering is done with pencil/marker which is later engraved using mechanical tools for carving, polishing and applying colors in the groves. Jayadev Bhawan was inaugurated by Nandini Satpathy, Chief minister of Odisha during that time on August 15, 1976 for which this foundation stone was erected.
