Visited the sacred Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri and had the divine darshan of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra.
Prayed for Odisha’s peace, progress, and prosperity, and for the well-being and happiness of the people .
It was a pleasure meeting Dr. Ashok K. Panda, CMD, @SAILsteel. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including land-related issues concerning the Raurkela Steel Plant.
The artisans are working tirelessly for the Ratha construction at Jagannatha Dham, Puri.
With a tight timeline, they build three new Rathas from scratch every year - entirely by hand.
No architectural drawings, no formal documentation. Just centuries-old knowledge passed down from one generation to the next.
A remarkable living tradition. 🙏
Heartiest congratulations on bringing laurels to Odisha and India on the global stage. Your remarkable achievement is a matter of immense pride and joy for all of us. Jai Jagannatha 🙏
Honoured to receive the Russian Grand Sand Master Cup 2026 at the II International Festival of Sand Sculpture in Kaliningrad, Russia, for my work highlighting the global issue of climate change and global warming. Proud to be the first Indian sand artist to receive this prestigious recognition. Sincerely grateful to the organisers, jury members, and everyone who has supported and encouraged my artistic journey.
A day after West Bengal government agreed to drop ‘dham’ from the Jagannath temple at Digha, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration informed on Wednesday that it has secured wordmarks for two words associated with Shree Jagannath temple at Puri and a logomark for its logo from the Indian Trade Marks Registry.
In order to protect the unique spiritual, cultural and institutional identity of the 12th century shrine - the Mula Pitha of the Holy Trinity - the SJTA had applied for wordmarks and logomarks for 29 words and logos which are integral to the shrine before the Registry.
And of them, wordmarks have been granted for ‘Ananda Bajara’ and ‘Patitapabana’. Further, the official SJTA Nilachakara logo has also received approval for logomark. These three are now registered in trademarks registry of Intellectual Property India.
Reviewed and supervised the ongoing developmental works at Shree Gundicha Temple. We are making every effort to ensure their timely completion ahead of the forthcoming Ratha Jatra. Jai Jagannatha. 🙏
