Book Description
About the Book
The book is a fine piece of treatise in the shape of a travel account presented to the readers at a time when there was no railway link to Puri nor a surfaced road with bridges over the rivers, It was, therefore, not a mean task to travel a long distance by bullock cart through ups and downs and against hazards. It is not definitely known the original place from which Mr. Mullick started his pilgrimage though the book begins with journey from Cuttack with a group of persons. The book begins with a journey from Cuttack by bullock cart in the later part of October, a suitable time for pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Jagannatha. The author describes the sandy bed of Kathajodi river and stilling heat unbearable during their journey and speaks of sarais or inns on the road for food and shelter of the travellers and shady trees on each side. The first halt at Balianta on the bank of Kuakhai river reminds him of the story of Rama's killing Bali, the king of Kiskindhya, the curse of Tara to Rama for unfair combat and killing of her husband resulting the conjugal unhappiness of Rama in the later part of his life. The place on the old Jagannatha Road has religious significance and antiquarian importance. An image of Gopinatha recovered from the river Kuakhai is worshipped here. As one proceeds on the old road towards Bhubaneswar one finds the remains of a pillared bridge on the Gangua rivulet built during the Ganga period. A couple of hours journey from Balianta brought the party in complete sight of the temple town of Bhubaneswar. "Here the natural scenery was. Grand, and glorious. The spot was gentle elevation from the Puri Road, on the summit of which stood the famous shrine. And no better spot could have been chosen. It bristled with innumerable temples which appeared to us from the road to be in a dilapidated condition. But the fact itself was nevertheless significant, viz. that in an ancient epoch of the religious history of the Province, Bhubaneswara was a citadel of Hindu faith".

Preface
THE present volume originally captioned "Jagannatha-worship, at Puri" written by Bulloram Mullick and published in 1892, is now edited with an introduction by Dr. H. C. Das and reprinted by Kalyani Debi, Calcutta under the title of "Lord Jagannatha in Indian Religious Life", and another book published by her entitled "Bhakti Movement in Orissa". The book is a fine piece of treatise in the shape of a travel account presented to the readers at a time when there was no railway link to Puri nor a surfaced road with bridges over the rivers. It was, therefore, not a mean task to travel a long distance by bullock cart through ups and downs and against hazards. It is not definitely known the original place from which Mr. Mullick started his pilgrimage though the book begins with journey from Cuttack with a group of persons.
