Jagannath Temple Work BEGINS!!!
Dear Member,
The work at the Jagannath temple has started! Yes! It has. The excavation work started on August 14th. Utkal Samaj blog site will now bring weekly updates on the progress of the the construction work.
For those who believe in seeing than reading, here are some pictures at http://utkalsamajpune.blogspot.com/2009/08/work-at-jagannath-temple-wesbite-has.html ! And please please do visit the temple construction site to get the feeling of what is being built. To stand in the one acre land and see half the city is an awesone sight. And to see the foundations of the temple being constructed will be a life time experience.
We know that you are also willing to contribute. On how you can, please call 9823252848, Utkal Samaj number.
We are now in a drive to collect funds. Please do contribute generously so that we all can have the temple constructed as soon as possible.
A very high level plan is to now have the temporary temple built, while the main temple work will take place in parallel. The main temple (whose details will be posted soon), will take about 7 to 10 years to build. In the meanwhile the makeshift temple will function.
The makeshift temple will be ready by Kartika Purnima and Mandir Pratistha will be done on same day(2ndNovember 2009). For this we need approximately 15 Lakhs rupees for initial expense like electricity and water arrangement ,Makeshift temple construction…
Please forward this information to anyone who may be interested.
Warm Regards,
Utkal Samaj Pune
