Nag started penning poetry in the Kosali language, also called Sambalpuri, a Western Odisha dialect frequently ignored in popular literature. Haldhar Nag had composed and sung various lokgeet (folk songs) such as Dal Khai, Mayela Jada, Krusna Guru, and others. In 1990, two students from G.M. University took an initiative to promote poetry. They would collect money and organise poetry recitation sessions on the last Sunday of every month, displaying poems on public walls. Inspired by their passion, they hosted a Kabi Sammelani in their locality.
