To make the celebration of Anla Navami more vibrant and culturally rich, the Satyabadi Seva Trust organized a decorative event on the eve of the festival. The area around the Arun Stambha in front of the temple was adorned with beautiful drawings and colorful rangoli designs. Inside the premises, traditional Odia motifs and artwork were displayed, symbolizing the divine presence of Goddess Radharani in traditional Odia attire (Odiaani Besha).
The highlight of the evening was an eye-catching sand sculpture featuring the divine duo — Lord Krishna and Goddess Radharani — crafted by skilled sand artists. The artists also conveyed festive greetings through their sand art with inscriptions of the famous Panchasakha Padhia style.
On this special occasion, Satyabadi MLA Om Prakash Mishra, Seva Trust Secretary Sushanta Kumar Rath, President Sudarshan Pradhan, Rozalin Mishra, Kajal Mahapatra, Tikina Mishra, Neelakantha Barik, and others were present. Noted sand artist Kunal Mahapatra, among others, participated in the event and lit ceremonial lamps near the divine sand sculpture of Lord Krishna and Goddess Radharani.
