We are so glad that such social & cultural appropriation & misuse of Mahaprabhu’s Dham’s name is finally stopped.🛕
We look forward to #correctrepresentation 🙏
#JagannathDham #Puri
Thank you so much for pursuing this. 🙏
Jaya Jagannatha Mahaprabhu 🙌
Looking forward to the name change of the Digha Jagannath Temple🙏
Neither #JagannathDham nor #JagannathTemple ->
“Cultural Centre” is its identity.

Great that Odisha's rich cultural heritage craftworks are chosen as precious gifts-
"Talapatra Khodei" (Palmleaf Engraving)
&
"Cuttack Rupa Tarakasi" (Silver Filigree)
We're proud of our fine Khodei & Tarakasi crafts & want #correctrepresentation with names of artisans & places.

December 31 is being celebrated as #ChhenapodaDibasa ✅
You mentioned #Chhenapoda & #OdishaGI
When April 11 was first decided as #ChhenapodaDibasa following a Twitter discussion in which I played an active part, I too joined the 1st celebration.
That day itself I realised that names of-
Father & real creator
&
Place were excluded.
Wrong @JagannathaDhaam info was spread

We want all the names of the handicrafts & their geographical areas & artists/artisans to be mentioned correctly.
Original arts & crafts must get focus.
All must buy, use, gift & promote.
That will be a great celebration of handicrafts.

Smt. Amrit Raj, Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), reminds us that artisans are the true masters of this sector — creators who carry science, beauty and humility in every craft they make.
As Handicrafts Week begins from 8–14 December, we invite you to celebrate India’s craft heritage and the extraordinary hands that shape it. 🌿🇮🇳✨

Many think Pattachitra & Talapatra Khodei are the same.
Some use “Pothichitra” instead of “Talapatra Khodei”.
Pothi refers to manuscripts.
Talapatra Khodei means- Palm Leaf Engraving.
#TalapatraKhodei is much more than #Pothichitra
Pls use right name🙏

Chhenapoda is not an offering to Shree Jagannatha in Shree Jagannatha Temple #JagannathDham Puri Odisha.
📝Podapitha is offered as bhoga.
📝Many Chhena dishes are a part of Shree Jagannatha’s Mahaprasad.

Like Rasagola, Rasabali etc, #Chhenapoda too is an Odia dessert.
Impact of advocacy-

Urgent updates needed for the Chhenapoda GI application.
We have tried to reach out on multiple levels.
#CorrectRepresentation must be ensured in documentation.

Nayagarh Chhenapoda GI application filed in 2023.
Right spelling of #Chhenapoda used in the GI application after our outreach.
Applicants have downloaded from Internet & not even included Daspalla & the real creator’s name!
Despite our letters & info shared, still no updates.

Devotees of Mahaprabhu Shree Jagannatha unitedly objected & #JagannathDham signage is removed in Digha👏
Victory of Truth vs Fake👍
#SatyamevaJayate
Time to remove Dham from @jagannathdhamdg 🙏
May Mahaprabhu ensure sadbuddhi 🙌

5 May 2025
After strong protests from devotees of Prabhu Jagannath, the West Bengal government was forced to quietly remove the misleading ‘Dham’ signage in Digha. This is a significant victory for Hindu unity and a setback to Mamata Banerjee’s divisive agenda. When Hindus stand united, no political manipulation can succeed. Jai Jagannath!

We object attempts to misrepresent by calling non-Dham as Dham & also approprating the original Dham’s identity- using same photo, logo etc. for their identity.
It’s now updated after the intervention of people who took action for #correctrepresentation👍
1 May 2025
They have now claimed Jagannath cultural centre of Digha as Jagannath Dham with Sri Khetra pucture 😂 They have added new location in Google. I had tried to edit it but the author rejected my suggestion. This is not acceptable at all. 🙏

Chhenapoda is a much-loved sweet of Odisha.
Great to see the love & interest & coverage.
However, owing to wrong info having been published & shared by many “food experts” in the past, there’s a lot of misinformation about Chhenapoda eg origin & linkage.

We want #CorrectRepresentation of #GIsofIndia.
Bengal Patachitra GI should be renamed to its original local name- Pat/Pot/Patua/Potua.
Using "Patachitra" for it creates confusion.

Art of another state that was never called Pattachitra/Patachitra before is now being called so.
GI registration was NOT done in their local name- Pot/Potua/Patua
Bengal Scroll Paintings name should've been registered
