Since 1868
“And so we have at last a temple of learning, fair to look on, stately in its proportions, which compares not unfavourably with the only other temple, the temple of Jagannath…
These twin monuments represent Orissa to the outside world and are a source of just pride to every Oriya.
One represents the past, the other the present … One the charity and reverence of faith, the other the passionless curiosity of Science…
The Oriya is sometime tortured by a genuine doubt as to where he shall worship.”
