I read the translation by Arun Kumar Mohanty. This is a beautiful novella about life in a tribal village in Orissa. This is a story about love, caste and faith. The description of each character and the surroundings of the village are very rich. I found this book in the Champaca Bookstore and library (https://www.champaca.in/). I am really happy that they have lots of translation and Tejaswi helped with find this one.

P.S. Would love to read its English translation, as I am not able to imagine how could this be translated and still depict its pristine beauty.
