Question

Q: Critically analyse various symbols used by jayanta mahapatra in his poem "dawn at puri".​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dawn at Puri” is an imagist poem taken from the collection “A Rain of Rites”. The poem is set in Puri, which is the holy city of Lord Jagannath, in Orissa. A Rain of Rites is a collection of poems written in the middle phase of his poetic career by Jayanta Mahapatra and is shaped by the cultural heritage of Orissa in particular and India in general. The rain in this volume of poetry, as indicated by the title, is the dominant metaphor.

The rites and rituals here concern priests and temples, widows, cremations, and the fate of Indian women are symbolised here by various images. Like Arun Kolatkar in Jejuri, Jayanta Mahapatra is disappointed by the hollowness of traditional practises and customs. Here, in this poem, Mahapatra depicts the holy city of Puri, which is known as one of the most revered pilgrimage cities of the Hindus.
