Compiled by renowned Kokborok poet and folklorist Chandrakanta Murasingh, the book reflects years of dedicated effort to document traditions that have been passed down orally through generations. The anthology includes traditional folk songs that express the joys, sorrows, aspirations, and everyday experiences of the indigenous people, alongside myths and folktales that preserve their beliefs, values, and understanding of the natural and spiritual world. Proverbs and riddles further enrich the collection, revealing the wit, wisdom, and linguistic richness of Kokborok folk culture.
Beyond its literary appeal, the book serves as an important resource for the study of folklore, anthropology, cultural history, and indigenous knowledge systems.
