SARAIKELLA - MAPAUDI SHRINE 

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.
