#Nabakalebara - English Translation of my #Odia poem ନବକଳେବର

This millennium’s first Nabakalebara Festival,

            Is coming up soon in my nation!

After nineteen years the four idols,

            Will undergo Transformation!

Superb art titled 'Niraakaara' by artist Jagdish Chandra Kanungo at recently held art exhibition related to Nabakalebara called 'Nilakandara' at Bhubaneswar

The Soul will be that old one,

            But the body will be brand new!

In the Lord’s Home, waves of spirituality,

            Will spread everywhere anew!

-----

ନାହିଁ କୌଣସି ସହର ଏହି ଜଗତରେ,

ମୋ ଭୁବନେଶ୍ବରଠାରୁ ସୁନ୍ଦର!

ଏହାର କଳା, ସଂସ୍କୃତି, ସଭ୍ୟତାକୁ,

କୋଟି କୋଟି ପ୍ରଣାମ ମୋର!

II

----

ମୋ ସହର ଇଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କର ବି!

ଏଠାରେ ତାଙ୍କ ବାସଘର!

ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ସେବାରେ ମୁଁ ରହିଲି,

ହୋଇ ଝିଅ ଭୁବନେଶ୍ବରର!
