Ada is an ancient village certainly having historical background behind it. There are some images related to Brahmanical faith present in this village. The early Uma-Maheswar image kept in front of the Chateswar Mahadeva temple is a fine specimen of Kalingan iconography.

At the far end of the village a mound-like place addressed as 'Uaasa' by the villagers, stands a later-built temple dedicated to Narayana & in front of this temple the Jain Antiquities are found scattered all around. A ruined temple structure of 8-10th century is found there

Today is the Rath Yatra of #Jagganath!
Was Jagganath temple of #Orissa a Jain temple?? Is the idol the Kalinga Jina? Scholars, Historians, Architecture, Stambha, Rituals, Literature, Tirthankar idols carved on walls indicate it was. Jaganath is none other than Adinath!

Kalingan Prince Vijaya was the first Sinhalese king of Sri Lanka. He ruled Sri Lanka in the 6th-century BCE.
Kalingans further established a kingdom in the far-off Maldives Islands before 3rd century BCE !
This is concrete testimony of the early sea-faring people of Odisha.

Ptolemy's work of ~150 CE - "Geography" - mentions the Kalinga trade with *Far-East*.
*Kalinga-Roman* maritime trade flourished as well, judging from the findings of Shishupalgarh excavations.
