P.L. Sundarka was popularly known as the 'Jadusamrat' or 'Emperor of Magic'.
Odisha's famous magician P.L. Sundarka was from Cuttack and learned magic in London.
The poem 'The Magic Brush of Dreams' is adapted from a traditional folk tale.
After driving away the Zamindar, Gopi hid the brush and refused to paint for the villagers.
Gopi scared the Zamindar away by threatening to paint a beast to chase him.
The Zamindar and his men easily crossed the mighty river painted by Gopi.
Gopi painted a winding road and a strong horse to escape from the prison.
Gopi was kept in a luxurious room inside the Zamindar's palace.
The Zamindar ordered his men to seize the magic brush and throw Gopi into a prison cell.
Gopi agreed to obey the Zamindar's command so that she would not be punished.
The Zamindar ordered Gopi to paint a grand fortress, treasures, and rare jewels.
Gopi painted a shawl for a farmer and a muffler for a grandmother.
The first thing Gopi painted using her magic brush was a bowl of khichdi.
The man sitting on the stone instructed Gopi to use the magic brush only for the wealthy.
Gopi was drawing pictures in the sand with a twig beneath a banyan tree before receiving the magic brush.
