(Gangadhar Meher College Premises, Sambalpur on Dt. 06-11-1963)

Gangadhar Meher is not a poet of Orissa only, but he occupies a conspicuous place among the poets of all modern Indian languages, He is contemporary to Rabindranath. As far as I am acquinted with Gangadhar's literature, this is my idea and heart-felt conviction that, had he written only one poem named BHAKTI, his poetic creation still have been fruitful. But it is a matter of great regret that Gangadhar is not known to votaries of other Indian languages. The reason is that non-oriyas do not know the Oriya alphabets and it proves a stumbling block to them.

Orissa is fortunate in having a saint-poet like Gangadhar and it is significant that he was born among Weavers. The Weavers of Sambalpur are famed far and wide for the beauty and originality of their designs and for their great skill. Gangadhar Meher worked with words and thoughts in the same masterly fashion. He is one of whom the Weavers themselves, Orissa, India and the world may well be proud.                  Smt. Lila Ray, veteran authoress in English.

I am proud that I belong to Barpali, where the great poet Gangadhar was born. Barpali is known to the countryman for two things: immortal poet Gangadhar Meher and age old traditional weaving of famous tie & dye art. My late father Silpaguru Padmashree Kunja Bihari Meher was a great adminer of the poet. I think The great contribution of my father to Bandha art is the weaving of portrait of the great poet on cloth. This wall hanging has been considered as an outstanding creation and be-filling tribute to Swabhab kabi. This classic piece has now been treasured in kalabharati Tie & Dye Art Museum, Barpali.
