Can devotion ever find a better
example? Has history afforded any similar? Would not the deity protect and reward
such sacrifice? Dedication makes the votary sacrifice everything. Anything is less, it
avers. Knowing the fraud perpetrated on him, the king of Porahat threw away the fake
image he got through the British help into the river Sanjai. It was taken with
reverence by the Zamindar of Icha, a scion of the Saraikella family and installed it
in his own house which is now worshipped by public without any taboo. Mysterious
are the ways of the divinities and their sports are to be accepted for public
welfare only.
Saraikella where the original image of Mapudi is venerated with unprecedented
ardour is the headquarters of a sub-division of the same name . One can easily
reach it by railways, roadways and airways.
