Dalits enter temple, priests welcome

SALEPUR: Dalits under the Rastriya Yuva Sangathan today concluded
their padayatra at the 1886 year-old Chateswar temple in Kisinapur
village under Sauri gram panchayat in Cuttack district. The padayatra
was organised to mark 75th year of Mahatma Gandhi's padayatra against
untouchability in 1939.
The Dalits began the padayatra from Bairee in Jajpur on November 30
and ended at Kisinapur after passing through Chattia, Champapur
ashram, Lekhapur, Rameshawar, Gopinathpur and Satyabhamapur, the birth
place of Utkal Gaurav Madhusudan Das.
After a meeting in front of the temple, that was presided over by
Justice Chaudhury P.K. Mishra, the Dalits entered the temple. Their
entry was welcomed by the sevayats of the temple who also served them
'prasad'.
Members of Utkal Gandhi Smarak Nidhi, Gandhi Peace Foundation, Sarba
Seba Sangh, Varnasi and Gandhi Yuva Sanghathan, Kasturba Gandhi
National Memorial Trust participated in the padayatra.
