All about Dhenkanal

Here is a video of Dhenkanal's Laxmi Puja 2010. I miss the fun and excitement of this festival.

Here is a clip of Dhenkanal celebrating the Laxmi Puja in the year 2009.

Its been 7 years since I last attended Dhenkanal's famous Laxmi Puja. Even though I have been to Dhenkanal quite a few time since 2001, but I was never there during the time of Laxmi Puja. Thats why I felt emotional and nostalgic while watching the following series of videos on Laxmi Puja. Part 1: A brief introduction on Dhenkanal and the origin of Laxmi Puja Part 2: Greetings from a few Municipal administrators Part 3 and Part 4 : Laxmi idols of all the Bazaars and their light work and decorations Part 5: Expositions and exhibitions (includes Dhenkanal Mahotsava, cultural programmes and all the fun rides) Part 6: Kapilas and Saptasajya (I will write more about it in future) Part 7: Joranda
