MAKARA CHAURASI BESA OF SRIMANDIRA DEITIES: A SPECIAL RITUAL ON MAKAR SANKRANTI

The auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti is celebrated with great fervor at Puri’s Jagannath Temple, marking one of the 12 yantras of Lord Jagannath. On this day, the Trinity Deities—Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Devi Subhadra—are adorned in the special Makara Chaurasi Besa.

The rituals begin with Mangal Arati and Abakasa Niti, followed by adorning the Lords with Makar Chula (special headgear). Key rituals like Karpura Lagi, Mahasnan, and Sarbanga Lagi are performed. The deities are then decorated with Malachula ornaments, prepared by the Jagannath Ballabh Math, while flowers and basil leaves are provided by Badaodia Math.

The Makara Chaula Bhoga, also called Makaratada, is sent from Alam Chandi Temple as an offering. As the Uttarayana Gati of the Sun begins, devotees throng Srimandir to seek blessings during this sacred celebration.

14/01/2025

The latest UDISE+ report for the academic year 2023-24 reveals a concerning gap in digital education in Odisha, with only slightly more than 30% of its 3.35 lakh teachers trained in using computers for teaching. This figure highlights the need for urgent action to equip educators with the digital skills required to enhance the learning experience in the state.

Digital education has become a crucial part of modern teaching, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further emphasized the importance of technology in classrooms. However, the lack of adequate digital training for a majority of teachers in Odisha threatens to hinder progress in the state’s education sector.

Experts believe that improving teachers' digital literacy is essential to creating an engaging and effective learning environment, fostering better student outcomes. The report indicates that a significant number of teachers in Odisha still face challenges in integrating technology into their teaching methods, which could impact the overall quality of education.

The state government has been urged to prioritize digital training programs for teachers, ensuring that every educator has the necessary skills to navigate modern educational tools. With a rapidly evolving digital landscape, it is crucial that Odisha invests in upskilling its teaching workforce to provide students with the quality education they deserve.

14/01/2025

Puri’s Jagannath Temple will restrict darshan of Lord Jagannath for five hours on January 15, 2025, due to the sacred Banakalagi ritual, as per the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA). This traditional ritual, observed on the second day of Krushna Paksha in the month of Magha, involves the reapplication of holy materials to the deities’ idols.

General darshan will be suspended from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM following the second Bhoga Mandap ritual. The SJTA has requested devotees to plan their visits accordingly, ensuring the uninterrupted observance of this significant temple tradition.

What is Banakalagi Niti?
Banakalagi Niti, also known as Shrimukha Sringara, is a sacred ritual performed at the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha. This ceremony involves repainting the idols of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra with natural paints derived from rare forest products to refresh their divine appearances.

What Happens During Banakalagi Niti?
Three Dattamahapatra Sevakas (designated temple priests) prepare the Banaka (natural paint).
The sevakas climb up to the Ratna Simhasana (throne) with the prepared paste.
They carefully paint the idols using traditional methods.
After completing the ritual, the sevakas descend from the throne, signifying the completion of the process.

What Paints Are Used?
The paints are made from natural ingredients, each with a specific purpose:
Haritala (Red)
Hengula (Yellow)
Sankha (White)
Black (used for detailing the deities' faces)

Other essential ingredients include:
Kasturi (musk)
Karpur (camphor)
Kesar (saffron)
Kalasankha and Dhalasankha (types of conch shell powder)

In addition to the pension, the government will ensure that beneficiaries have access to free medical services, further alleviating the challenges they may face due to health issues arising from their incarceration.

THE ODISHA COASTAL HIGHWAY PROJECT AIMS TO ENHANCE CONNECTIVITY, DECONGEST NH-16, AND BOOST THE STATE'S ECONOMY AND TOURISM.

The long-awaited 413-kilometer Odisha coastal highway is set to commence construction, marking a significant advancement in the state's infrastructure development. Part of the Bharatmala Pariyojana under the Centre’s 'Purvodaya' vision, the project has an estimated cost of Rs 23,882 crore.

Originally proposed in 2015 to connect Gopalpur in Ganjam district with Digha in West Bengal, the project faced delays due to environmental concerns and public opposition. The revised alignment reduces the distance from 451 km to 346 km, avoiding ecologically sensitive areas such as Chilika Lake, Balukhand Wildlife Sanctuary, and Bhitarkanika National Park.

The four-lane coastal highway will be developed in two segments: from Rameswar to Ratanpur and from Ratanpur to Digha. Additionally, a 67-kilometre stretch will connect the coastal highway at Dhamra with NH-16 at Jamujhadi. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued tenders for the 163-kilometer section from Rameswar to Ratanpur, estimated at Rs 7,040.43 crore. This segment will traverse Tangi, Bramhagiri, Puri, Konark, Astarang, Naugaon, and Paradip, covering four districts: Khurda, Puri, Kendrapara, and Jagatsinghpur.

The project aims to decongest the Chennai-Kolkata NH-16, providing an alternative parallel route that will enhance connectivity, boost the economy, and promote tourism in the coastal districts of Odisha. The revised alignment, developed in consultation with all stakeholders, has addressed earlier concerns, and the bidding process is scheduled to conclude on February 28.

THIS INVESTMENT IS EXPECTED TO ENHANCE TRADE, TRANSPORTATION, AND SUSTAINABILITY, DRIVING ECONOMIC GROWTH AND REDUCING CONGESTION ON ROADS AND RAILWAYS.

The Indian government’s ambitious commitment of over Rs 50,000 crore towards upgrading the nation’s inland waterways infrastructure has been lauded by the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC). This monumental investment is part of the government’s plan to significantly enhance the capacity and efficiency of inland water transport over the next five years.

The development of inland waterways has the potential to revolutionize logistics and trade, providing an eco-friendly alternative to road and rail transport. By improving navigation channels, building terminals, and upgrading infrastructure, this initiative will promote smoother and more cost-effective movement of goods across the country.

The ICC has expressed optimism that this commitment will not only improve trade routes but also contribute to reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions, aligning with the government’s sustainability goals. It is also expected to boost the economy by creating job opportunities and promoting regional development.

The plan aligns with the National Waterways Act and is aimed at enhancing the utilization of India’s vast river networks for cargo transport. This step is expected to transform India into a global leader in inland water transport, significantly lowering transportation costs and increasing the country’s competitiveness in international trade.

SINGAPORE PRESIDENT THARMAN SHANMUGARATNAM’S VISIT TO ODISHA WILL BOOST INVESTMENT PROSPECTS AND CULTURAL TIES AS PART OF THE ‘PURVODAYA’ INITIATIVE.

Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam will kick off his India tour on January 14-18, 2025, marking a significant milestone in the 60th year of India-Singapore diplomatic relations. Odisha, which is increasingly emerging as an investment hub, will play a central role in this visit.

The President will explore key facilities in Odisha, including a Bharat Biotech vaccine manufacturing plant and the World Skills Centre supported by Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education Services (ITEES). These visits reflect Singapore’s growing interest in fostering collaborations with Odisha, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, education, and skill development.

Odisha’s potential as a key player in India’s “Purvodaya” (‘Rising East’) policy—a development initiative aimed at enhancing growth in Eastern India—will be underscored during the visit. The policy, launched in July 2024, focuses on five eastern states: Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh. Odisha, with its conducive investment climate and strong law and order, is poised to attract Singaporean investments as both nations strengthen their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

THE ORISSA HIGH COURT HAS RULED THAT ONLY ASI-LICENSED PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AT KONARK SUN TEMPLE, PRESERVING THE SANCTITY OF THE HISTORICAL SITE.

The Orissa High Court has upheld the ruling that only photographers approved by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will be permitted to operate at Konark Sun Temple in Odisha’s Puri district.

A division bench, comprising Chief Justice Chakradhar Sharan Singh and Justice Savitri Ratho, announced the judgment, reinforcing the decision made by a single-judge bench on January 5, 2022. The single-judge bench had earlier ruled in favour of regulating photography at the 13th-century temple.

The initial petition was filed by 10 photographers who had been authorized by ASI to capture images within the temple premises. The petitioners argued that unregulated photography by unauthorized individuals was adversely impacting their livelihoods. The court’s verdict required that only photographers with valid ASI licences be allowed to operate.

Subsequently, 154 photographers filed an appeal challenging the single-judge bench’s decision. They contended that the requirement for a minimum qualification of Matriculation, as stipulated by ASI, deprived them of the opportunity to work at the temple. They requested the court to consider a one-time exception to the qualification criterion.

In response, the ASI, through an affidavit, opposed the request for a one-time exception, emphasizing its uniform policy for regulating photographers across all national monuments. The High Court upheld this stance, maintaining that the requirement of Matriculation as a minimum qualification is essential for licensing photographers.

THE ODISHA GOVERNMENT’S NEW GUIDELINES ARE SET TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS FOR READY-MIX CONCRETE PLANTS, BALANCING INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.

To mitigate environmental challenges posed by ready-mix concrete plants, the Odisha government has introduced new guidelines focusing on reducing dust pollution, preventing water contamination, and ensuring proper waste management. These guidelines are expected to regulate the operation of these plants across the state, ensuring that they adhere to sustainable practices.

The construction industry’s reliance on ready-mix concrete has long raised concerns regarding its environmental impact. The new regulations call for the implementation of dust control systems, water treatment measures to prevent contamination, and the proper disposal of concrete waste. In addition, the plants will be required to undergo regular environmental audits to ensure compliance with these standards.

With these measures, the Odisha government aims to protect the environment while promoting sustainable industrial growth. This initiative is part of the state’s broader effort to align with national sustainability goals and foster a cleaner, greener future for its residents.
