English: This is a Sanskrit manuscript in Odia script. The colophon states it is Odia lipi. The text is a section of the Skanda Purana, and praises a teacher-counsellor (guru).
This manuscript was acquired in the 19th-century, and was produced in or before the acquisition. The photo above is of a 2D artwork from the text that was itself authored more than 500 years ago.
