Quite unexpectedly, on the auspicious occassion of Naga Panchami (the traditional day for worshipping snakes and Nagas), a divine Naga appeared at our Sri Jagannatha temple in Bhadrak to bless devotees. As word spread, more than 1,000 villagers arrived throughout the day and night, bringing offerings of milk and deepams to offer to the Naga.

A report on CNN News about the Bhaktivedanta Ashram's Jagannatha temple in Bhadrak, Orissa. Last week reporters from seven television channels came for filming (CNN, NDTV, ETV, OTV, Sony1, Zee News, and Aaj Tak).
Part of an interview for an Indian television channel (Aaj Tak). Topic of the interview is Puri Jagannatha temple's policy barring foreigners from entering to worship the Lord.
An amazing video of the annual Ratha Yatra in Puri Dham, with footage of building the chariots, pahandi (carrying deities out of the temple), Golden Dress (Suna Vesha), Elephant Dress, etc. The video narration is in Hindi, but the footage is still wonderful and worth watching for those who don't understand Hindi.
This month the Bhaktivedanta Ashram was blessed with the arrival of our newly made deities of Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra and Sudarshana. For more than one year, work on these deities has been carrying on under the guidance of Puri temple priests, so that every detail of the process was done strictly according to the Puri tradition and the scriptures. The deities were made as exact replicas of the original deities in Puri, incorporating the traditional procedures undertaken for the navakalevara festival (the change of Lord Jagannatha's body held every 12 years in Puri). Work on the deities was carried out in Puri, next to the famous Jagannatha temple, in the courtyard where the Oriya saint Sri Jagannatha Das composed the Oriya Bhagavatam 500 years ago.
