Appearance
As an Indo Aryan race, the Oriyas are no different from their neighbours like the Biharis, Chatishgarhis, Bengalis and the Assamese. They are generally of moderate height and of a wheatish complexion. The Dravidian population tends to be smaller in stature with darker complexions; depending on the level of admixture between the groups skin complexions and hair texture varies.

“Most lovers ... picture to themselves, in their mistresses, a secret reality, beyond and different from what they see every day. They are in love with somebody else—their own invention.
