About the Book
Few other Hindu gods guide a regional consciousness, pervade
walks of everyday life and define a collective psyche the way Lord
Jagannath does in Odisha and its contiguous areas. Jagannath is
metonymic of Odisha and the Odia way of life, arguably much

While not derecognizing the historical and the spiritual aspects
of jagannath, Bonding with the Lord attempts to look at the
deployment of Jagannath in contemporary cultural practices

cultural Jagannath not only materializes him in people's everyday
practices but also democratizes scholarship on him. The
expansion of the scope of research on Jagannath to cultural
expressions in a more encompassing way rather than confining
to 'elitist' religious literary sources makes him an everyday
presence and significantly enhances his sphere of influence.
Jagannath's 'tribal' origin, his association with Buddhism and
Jainism and his avatar status make him an all-encompassing,
multilayered symbol and a treasure trove for multiple
interpretations.

to 2005, it is alluring for me to reconsider th
