[1] Mukura was a literary magazine having articles, stories, and poems on nationalism, philosophy, history, religion, culture, science, social reform, and linguistics, among other subjects.

The works published in Mukura carried a patriotic undertone, emphasising the need to rescue the Odia language and identity from its dire status.

[2][3][1] It played a central role in lobbying for the amalgamation of Odia-speaking areas; a long struggle that culminated in the creation of Odisha as a separate state on April 1, 1936 (Utkal Divas).

This established a rooted relationship where Mukura Press published “Pravat Kusum” (Morning Flowers), an anthology comprising Mahapatra’s poems.

Mukura promoted tourism and regional awareness by publishing a series of works by Mrutyunjaya Rath under the heading “Tippani” (Notes).

An excerpt from his commentary on Nilamadhab at Kantilo:[1] “Looking at it from the village, the cloud-kissing compound walls of the temple give the illusion of a five-storied palace.

As the temple appears wonderfully beautiful from a distance, so also the vast carpeted surrounding below appears equally pleasing.”Mrutyunjay Rath’s study of Sarala Mahabharata, the first serious intellectual engagement with the medieval composition in Odia literature, was serialised in Mukura in 1911 under the title “Adikabi – Sarala Dasa”.

Braja Sundar wrote in Mukura editorial pieces as well as discourses on various topics of socio-cultural, literary, and political interests.
