== Life ==
Born on 17 March 1942 in the Bilunga village of the [[Sambalpur]] district in [[Odisha]], Gountia began to write satires from the age of 15 with songs such as ''parikhya chinta'' and ''masa udusa kali''. His folk songs were aired at the Sambalpur radio station of the [[All India Radio]] on the ''Sur Malika'' program for the first time in 1978; they were sung by [[Jitendra Haripal]] and Krishna Patel. He composed the eponymous ''[[Rangabati]]'' song in the Sambalpuri language soon after; it was recorded in 1979 by P. Majumdar, a Kolkata-based music album producer, leading to its worldwide popularity.<ref name=":0" />

The retired teacher penned over 1000 folk songs. ''Mandakini manar juli'', ''jharamali nani'', ''tetel patar saru saru, kane chabe kana kuturu,'' and ''tui nuru thile nurinuri miun'' are some of his popular folk songs.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":0" />
