DEITY DEPARTMENT Still in lockdown, the temple residents were continuing to cover a number of deity services for Their Lordships. Community members living outside the temple are deeply missing their services and eagerly waiting for the temple to re-open so they can serve Their Lordships once again.
LORD JAGANNATHA’S MERCY Although Snanayatra and London Rathayatra was sadly cancelled this year, this didn’t stop the pujaris decorating Their Lordships with extra flower garlands and dressing Them beautifully on the days that the festivals would have taken place. Not only these days but the days that Snanayatra and Rathayatra took place in Jagannatha Puri were also observed with opulent darshans! Never wanting to miss an opportunity to serve her beloved Lord Jagannatha, Vimala devi dasi also cooked extra preparations on these days. LONDON SNANAYATRA DARSHAN Sunday 31st May (day the festival was planned to take place)
