“Urmila,” a poetic masterpiece by Krushna Singh, unfolds in the rich tapestry of the Odia language. Written in the mid-sixties, Singh’s verses vividly reimagine the overlooked character of Urmila from the Ramayan. Modest yet profound, the collection explores her sacrifice, portraying her as a figure surpassing even Sita in nobility. Singh’s rhythmic Odia verses beautifully convey the depth of emotion and philosophy in this timeless literary work.
