Name Of The Festival Is Chaiti Poem by Kumarmani Mahakul
Name Of The Festival Is Chaiti
Chaiti is really beautiful name of the fest,
Beautiful small town Gunupur is the best.
This is celebrated in care in this winter,
To watch this you run oh dear sprinter.
Day is dazzling but stage carries new drum,
At evening will play it Tromie and Trom.
Traditional trumpet is played we hear horn,
Food is tasty in fest we take crop and corn.
On stage this shines our Odisha State's map,
Seventeen is year still December has no gap.
Celebration is done beside town bus stand,
South land is lucky; art of tattoo is in hand.
Eastern range of mountains mumbles green,
This festival is seen in nature's cute screen.
Wheel of peace moves and temple many go,
Chaiti comes once in year, many of us know.
Chaiti means consciousness the power of soul,
By graceful light of God we achieve our goal.
Gunupur means the heaven of values and moral,
Words carry wisdom whether written or oral.
