Tales From the Land of Jagannatha
There are 30 short essays in this book. These essays aim to introduce non-Odias to Odisha’s wealth of ideas and forms in an accessible, non-academic, way. At the heart of all things Odia is Shri Jagannatha, which is why these essays are linked in one or another to Odisha’s Mahaprabhu, who is Lord of the World. It makes us realise how in India, the particular becomes universal, all things Odia also reflects all things Hindu and India. In India, identity is as important as infinity.
