A spiritual bond Jagannath Sadak , road that connected Calcutta to Puri. A holy route taken by Shri Chaitanya, Guru Nanak , Sant Kabir . The oral history of the pilgrim road is still sung by people of coastal Orissa .

Ruins, old structures silently remind the past nostalgia.

I thought to connect and inaugurate a new literary path where writers from both the states will start a new journey of cultural pilgrimage .

The cult of Maha Kali and Lord Jagannath spiritually evoke the spirit of religious togetherness . The mysterious manifestation of deity power attracted people of both the states to visit the auspicious temples from ancient times.

I sincerely hope the selected short stories will be engaging read .

I thank the esteemed contributors for their unconditional support for this project.
