Odia Pdf: Sundarakanda
Culturally, it is believed that wherever the Sundarakanda is read, Lord Hanuman arrives invisibly to listen. It is a traditional practice to place a clean wooden low-stool ( Pana/Asana ) specifically for Hanuman near your reading area.
The Sundarakanda is the fifth book of the Valmiki Ramayana. While the other chapters are named after stages of Rama's life (Balakanda, Ayodhyakanda), this chapter is named "Sundara" (Beautiful). It focuses primarily on Hanuman rather than Rama. Sundarakanda Odia Pdf
