An interview with Ramakrushna Dasmahapatra, a senior Puri Dayitapati, on guiding the Digha Jagannath Dham from consecration rituals to the 'Dham' debate
-
You have a prominent association with the recently inaugurated Jagannath Dham in Digha. There has also been considerable discussion surrounding your involvement. Could you shed some light on your role in this significant project?
My involvement with the Jagannath Dham in Digha stems from a deep devotion to Lord Jagannath and a commitment to facilitating the establishment of new centres of worship. As a servitor (Dayitapati) of the Puri Jagannath Temple, my primary role has been to offer guidance and ensure the proper execution of rituals and traditions, particularly concerning the installation of the deities.
What was your contribution to the consecration ceremony in Digha?

Of Stories and Storyteller
The plan was to have tamatar chaat at the famous Kashi Chaat Bhandar, situated en route Dashashwamedh ghaat. There was a catch, though. From the chowk where we were standing, all we could see was a sea of people. It was time for the Ganga aarti, on the left were people queued up to enter the Kashi Vishwanath temple through the brand-new corridor, on the right were people taking Ganesh idols for immersion and joining the festivities were those who were winding up Eid celebrations.
