In July 2009, the government of India's Department of Posts decided to release 11 stamps in Bhubaneswar to commemorate the birth of Jayadeva. One stamp depicts the poet himself, while the other ten depict the Dasavatara.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik unveiled the stamps at a special function in Jayadev Bhawan. A total of 800,000 stamps were released for sale in Odisha. Two hymns composed by Jayadeva have been incorporated in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of the Sikh religion.
Jayadeva's ashtapadis are sung in dance performances of Odissi, the classical dance of Odisha In the opinion of researcher scholars, Jayadeva is among the centralmost figures in Odia culture.Īlthough it is not clear how these medieval Orissan hymns found their way to the Sikh religion, there are records narrating how Jayadeva's work had a profound influence on Guru Nanak during his visit to Puri.
