Among of his most well-known works include Sahadarmini, Panchanatika, Na Pahu Rati, Kapatapasha, Hasyarasara nataka, and Babu Candramani.He began his career as an amateur stage performer in Cuttack’s Bharati Theatres, but quickly rose to prominence as an Odia stage playwright and screenwriter. After “Pheria,” his early plays from the 1950s, like “Bharasa” and “Para Kalam,” gained recognition as original works.
