PROFESSOR BY PROFESSION, PLAYWRIGHT BY PASSION<\/em> <\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Sukanta Rout<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than fifty years ago, a young boy wandered alone along streams and hills in his remote village during long summer holidays. A preteen clad in shorts, he searched for something ineffable, something transcendent\u2014a benign bliss that now, as an adult, he selflessly shares with others. That bliss, which captivated him and became his lifelong passion, was drama\u2014an art as divine as reciting the Vedas, the sacred texts of Hinduism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drama, the essence of Natya Veda (the fifth Veda), combines entertainment with enlightenment, mirroring the cosmic cycle of conflict, climax, and catharsis. Even as a child, Ramesh Prasad Panigrahi felt an unexplainable pull toward this heavenly art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on this early inspiration, Dr. Panigrahi describes it as \u201ca feeling of eco-feminism, an unconscious communion with Mother Nature, who cast a spell on me. It felt like sowing seeds of creative impulse\u2014a moment akin to the birth of the cosmos itself, as described in pre-Panini philosophical discourses like \u201cParavak\u201d and \u201cPasyanti Vak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His childhood evenings were spent outdoors, soaking in the mysteries of nature. On moonlit nights, he would walk a kilometer to the Rushikulya River, his path strewn with Nageswari petals, unbothered by warnings of stray cobras drawn to the flowers\u2019 fragrance. These solitary explorations of nature\u2019s beauty planted the seeds for the mystic and storyteller he would later become\u2014a man weaving captivating dramas to enlighten and entertain audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1944 in the village of Dharakot Garh, nestled near the Sulia Parbat foothills in Odisha\u2019s Ganjam district, Dr. Panigrahi was destined for greatness. As a young boy of twelve, he began crafting lyrical lines on scraps of paper, which later earned him recognition as a lyricist for All India Radio and Doordarshan. Over the years, he evolved into a versatile writer, essayist, critic, storyteller, and, most notably, a playwright and theater activist\u2014a household name in Odisha by the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Prolific Playwright and Theater Visionary <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since debuting with his play \u201cMukti Mandap\u201d in 1963, Dr. Panigrahi has written over a hundred plays and screenplays. His works, such as \u201cTimira Trushna,\u201d \u201cMun, Ambhe O Ambhemane,\u201d and \u201cDhritarastrara Akhi,\u201d balance poignant pathos with sharp humor and incorporate twists and turns that leave audiences captivated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His plays are a blend of traditional and experimental, breathing new life into Odia theater when it was languishing under mediocrity. With \u201cMahanataka\u201d (1962), a play rooted in myths, he pioneered the use of mythology in modern Indian theater\u2014years before Girish Karnad\u2019s \u201cHayavadana\u201d popularized the trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his fame, Dr. Panigrahi attributes his inspiration to his audience. \u201cTheir love for my work inspires me to create. When I know they value what I write, I feel compelled to go further,\u201d he says. His plays are known for their catharsis\u2014the emotional release that leaves audiences renewed and enlightened, much like a meditative experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saviour of Jatra <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Panigrahi also played a pivotal role in reviving Jatra, the traditional Odia folk theater, which was on the brink of extinction. He revitalized it with innovative storytelling, vibrant artistry, and relatable narratives. His Jatra plays, like \u2018Bhinna Eka Ramayana Anya Eka Sita\u2019 and \u2018Thakura Achhanti Chaubahaku,\u201d were wildly popular, often running for consecutive nights with tickets sold in advance. His genius turned struggling performers into sought-after artists, giving Jatra a new lease on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Stage to Screen <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Panigrahi\u2019s creativity extends beyond the stage to cinema and television. Films like \u201cSamaya Bada Balaban\u201d and \u2018Kotia Manisha Gotia Jaga\u2019, along with the Hindi television series \u2018Rishte Kaise Kaise,\u2019 based on his scripts, have been cherished by audiences for their tight storytelling and emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholar and Cultural Ambassador <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the realm of drama, Dr. Panigrahi is a scholar dedicated to showcasing Odisha\u2019s rich heritage. His seminal works on Odia literature\u2014\u2018History of Ancient Odia Literature,\u2019 \u2018History of Colonial Odia Literature,\u2019 and \u2018Modern Odia Literature,\u2019 published by Mittal Publications\u2014explore untold tales of Odisha\u2019s cultural and literary traditions. He also authored \u2018Continuity in the Flux\u2019, a compilation of essays on art and literature, along with numerous articles highlighting Odisha\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his twilight years, Dr. Panigrahi remains committed to his mission of bringing Odisha to global recognition. He envisions writing extensively about the state\u2019s art, literature, dance, and sculpture, a task he estimates will fill over two crore pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Humble Artist <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his towering contributions to drama and culture, Dr. Panigrahi shuns lobbying for awards, valuing artistic integrity above recognition. He recalls an offer to secure an award from the Kendriya Sahitya Akademi, which he declined due to unethical conditions. \u201cNo award is worth the humiliation of compromising my creations,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For him, the greatest reward comes from his audience. He fondly recounts an encounter with a woman who invited him home to serve fried \u201cpohala\u201d fish as a token of her gratitude for the joy his plays had brought her. \u201cThat was the best award I have ever received,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Essence of Drama <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Panigrahi\u2019s plays are steeped in catharsis\u2014the emotional essence of drama. In his work \u2018Kamalpur Daka Ghar,\u2019, an old man waits eagerly for a letter from his son at war, only to discover it was stolen by the postmaster. The letter, when finally revealed, bears tragic news: the son has been martyred. The father\u2019s grief transforms into acceptance, and he envisions his son\u2019s sacrifice painting the horizon red at sunset. This emotional crescendo exemplifies Dr. Panigrahi\u2019s mastery of drama\u2014a blend of resolution and catharsis that leaves a profound impact on audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy of a Legend\u00a0<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Ramesh Prasad Panigrahi\u2019s contributions to Odia dramatic culture are unparalleled. A luminary in the world of theater, he has inspired countless playwrights and directors across India. His works, rich with poetic justice and emotional depth, connect audiences with the divine, transcending the boundaries of time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as he reflects on a lifetime of achievements, Dr. Panigrahi remains humble. \u201cDrama is my prayer, my way of connecting with the Almighty,\u201d he says. For this wise wizard of Odia drama, creativity is not just an art but a sacred offering to humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
