Abstract
Dispersed in villages of Orissa are a number of mural paintings most of which are covered with soot deposits. A preliminary cleaning test was effected on a representative sample of such paintings using a Nd:YAG Laser at the NMGM Conservation Centre in Liverpool. This article reports the visual observations of the laser cleaning test.
