The Sacred King: Kalinga Raj and Odissi Folklore invites readers on a mesmerizing journey into the heart of Odisha's rich cultural heritage, where myth and history intertwine seamlessly. At the center of this tapestry stands the legendary figure of Kalinga Raj - a divine warrior-king celebrated for his courage, righteousness, and guardianship over his people and land. This book unravels his tales of valor and spiritual wisdom, preserved for generations through the vibrant tradition of Odissi dance, ballads, and folklore. With meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the narrative explores how Kalinga Raj's legacy continues to shape temple rituals, artistic expressions, and communal celebrations in Odisha. From divine mudras (gestures) that echo his protective stance in Odissi performances to sacred sites dedicated to his memory, the book highlights his timeless influence. Beyond folklore, Kalinga Raj emerges as a powerful metaphor for moral guardianship, balancing dharma (righteousness) and shakti (power). The text offers philosophical interpretations of his kingship, drawing parallels with other divine warrior-guardians in Indian and world mythology. As a cultural and spiritual symbol, Kalinga Raj's relevance remains profound even in modern times, offering lessons on leadership, protection, and devotion. This book underscores the importance of preserving such ancient myths, which continue to guide and inspire society. An essential read for lovers of Indian mythology, classical dance, and cultural history, The Sacred King celebrates the enduring power of myth and the sacred art of storytelling.
