Mahalaxmi temple built by dalits opens for public
Kendrapada, Jun 26 : A Mahalaxmi temple built by dalits inside the
famous Baldevjew temple premises here was opened for public, almost 83
years after its foundation was laid.
Much to the delight of religious activists, Gajapati Maharaja of Puri
Dibya Singha Deb graced a religious function this evening amid
chanting of mantras as he was the first devotee to enter the temple.
The construction work of the 47-feet tall Laxmi temple was completed recently.
According to Endowment Official sources, due to the paucity of funds,
the construction work was delayed by the fishermen community,
especially the Kaibartya Samaj (fishermen society) of undivided
Cuttack district.
''The temple work was taken up with the contributions by each
fishermen family of the undivided Cuttack district. The Fisherman
Society has collected funds from every household of undivided Cuttack
for this purpose,'' sources added.
