Padmashree Haldhar Nag Sadhana Kutir and Sangrahalaya[note 1] or Padmashree Haldhar Nag Kavi Kutir, formerly known as Haldhar Sadhana Kutir, Ghess ,[2] is the residence of the Indian "The Vest Poet" Haldhar Nag, located in Ghess village, Bargarh district, Odisha, India.
Haldhar Nag Kutir is a single-storey building. It mainly displays all the awards Haldhar Nag has won, well as portraits given to him by readers.
History
[edit]
Before the renovation, Haldhar Nag Kutir was dilapidated and dimly lit; the roof is made of iron sheets,[3] and the walls were paved with discarded Coke cans.[4] Haldhar Nag's manuscripts and poetry collections had no cupboards to store them, so they were piled in cardboard boxes and gunny sacks and placed under the bed, causing them to be damp due to improper preservation.
In 2019, Susmita Dash and Rajesh Tripathy, a doctor couple from Bargarh, decided to renovate Haldhar Nag Kutir, and turn it into a gallery with Haldhar Nag's approval. The renovated Haldhar Nag Kutir displays all his awards and memorabilia.[5][6] On September 25 of the following year, the renovation of the Haldhar Nag Kutir was completed and it was inaugurated by Susanta Singh and Debesh Acharya, as the chief guests.[1][7]
In popular culture
[edit]- A short film about Haldhar Nag from the documentary Virtual Bharat, which shows Haldhar Nag writing poetry in Haldhar Kutir. It was filmed in 2019, before it was renovated.[3]
- One of the filming locations for the 2023 song Amhe Sambalpuria, Haldhar Nag himself also participated in the filming.[8]
