OTV’s ‘Ama Sahi Medha’ inspires stunning Kali Puja displays in Jajpur

Jajpur town has come alive with vibrant celebrations as Kali Puja has commenced across the city. Devotees are worshipping Goddess Shyama Kali at 17 pandals, while 26 other pandals are dedicated to the worship of Lord Lakshminarayan.

The festivities have drawn large crowds eager to participate in the traditional rituals and cultural programs.

This year, OTV took the initiative to organise the popular ‘Ama Sahi Medha Parikrama’ competition, encouraging community participation and showcasing the best-decorated pandals. Two jury members appointed by OTV meticulously inspected each pandal to evaluate the decorations, arrangements, and the sequence of rituals performed during the puja.

Both the jury members and the pandal organizers have expressed high appreciation for OTV’s efforts in promoting cultural heritage through this event.

“OTV’s ‘Ama Sahi Kali Medha Parikrama’ in indeed a welcome and splendid initiative. I express my gratitude to OTV as this will draw people towards our culture, puja & rituals. Today, after inspecting all the pandals across Jajpur, I can tell you that people here are highly devoted to Maa Kali. It gives me immense happiness that the pandals are drawing huge number of devotees not just for their decoration, but because of the devotion towards Maa,” said jury member, Bhupati Bhushan Mishra.

Meanwhile, the immersion is scheduled to be held in two phases on the 28th and 29th of this month, promising spiritual fervor and community bonding.
