About The Book
Cuttack’s past is etched into its walls and stone structures, preserving the echoes of its rich and layered history. Once a major trading centre and cultural hub, the city witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties, leaving behind a legacy that still defines its identity today.
During the period of the British Raj, Cuttack played an important role, and the political administration, as well as the contributions of British officers and missionaries, are still evident in the city. The Gorakabar stands as a significant piece of evidence—a silent witness to the untold secrets of the past connected with the history of Cuttack.
The central character of this book guides readers through these layered histories, helping them understand what truly happened in Cuttack and introducing the key figures who contributed to the city’s proud and enduring legacy. Through this narrative, the book brings to life the people, events, and places that shaped Cuttack’s historical identity.
