Literary Career
Gangadhar started composing poems from a very tender age. His first writings follow the style and technique of the ancient Oriya writers. His first Kavya (poetic work) was “Rasa-Ratnakara”. Then being persuaded by some friends he changed his ways and wrote poems and kavyas in the modern Oriya style. Kabibar Radhanath Ray praised his writing very much. Then Gangadhar Meher produced innumerable writings that have no parallel in point of sweet imaginativeness, in beauty and clarity of language, in the novelty of style, in point of forceful character painting and in the lively description of nature from different angels of vision. His writings are like precious jewels in the store room of Utkal Bharati (Oriya language).
