About this ebook
Mahanadi Sacred Flow explores the spiritual significance of the Mahanadi River in India, revealing its pivotal role in Hindu traditions and its cultural impact. The book illuminates how the river is not merely a geographical feature but a living deity, shaping religious practices and cultural identities across centuries. One intriguing aspect is the river's personification as a goddess, deeply woven into local mythology and traditions. The book examines the network of temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and local deities along the Mahanadi, each contributing to the river's sacred character. It progresses by first introducing the river's mythological context, then analyzing the major temples along its course, and finally investigating contemporary rituals that sustain its sacred status. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between nature, religion, and culture.
