Kartika Purnima & Boita Bandana Review :
An appreciation note
Last Sundat Night and coming Monday were two spectacular memorable
days of experience at Sri Jagannath Temple. A Well planned and
coordinated mass voluntary effort that resulted in all arrangements
and preparations set well before time, only to trigger a charming
evening show. Event review follows
• A team of more than ten volunteers strategically managed all
preparatory tasks upfront. Lightening the temple with decoration
lights, earthen oil lamps, A well decorated four feet long
customized life size Thermo coil boat, Bhajan Team arrangement and
other logistics and strategic arrangements were completed before
evening.
• Bhajan Sandhya started with an impressive light show and
decoration and continued till early morning. Singers from all around
Bangalore with a well prepared team of musicians thrilled the show.
All renowned bhajans were re sung at the venue.
• Early morning 5 AM started the divine procession, along with the
Boita. At Near by Agara lake the boat was sailed in a traditional
ritual and thus bringing to an end of this mega event.
• Along with the above, the vicinity and neighborhood also witnessed
a huge flush of devotees starting from Sunday morning till Monday
evening. Serving them, caring them and responding them was nicely
managed by all.
Apart from the Temple administration, Appreciations for tremendous
efforts to Sri Rajani Kanta Patnaik, Sri. Sitanshu Mohapatra, Mr.
Ashish and friends, Sri. Priti Ranjan Behera, Sri. Rama Sahu, Sri.
