Exploring Assam: Jagannath Temple, Dibrugarh

-
Image
The Jagannath Temple in Dibrugarh in all ways translocates the essence of the extravagant Vaishnava temple dedicated to Lord  Jagannath  in Puri, Odisha. Built as a replica of the temple in Puri, the Temple constructed at the Khanikar area in Dibrugarh is touted to be the second largest after Puri in terms of its magnitude and size. Apparently the person most instrumental to the coming up of the temple was the former governor of Assam Janaki Ballav Pattnaik under the aegis of whom the initial lot of papers saw the light of the day.

I saw you on that pleasant day. You were there, you were near. But I thought, “maybe another day”! That was May, a summer day. Sun was nasty, you were hushed. So I thought, “maybe another day”!

I wish to say, I wish to say… Alas! you are taken and I hear you say, “maybe another day”! “maybe another day”!

Hello readers! URBScribbles takes this opportunity to thank you all for your support and love. Your inspiration is the only fixed asset. Beginning form this issue I am bringing to you a series of stories inspired by my recent trip to China as a part of the Indian Think Tanks’ Delegation. Hope it soothes your reading. (50secs read) Bag full of anxieties associated with every upcoming trip to a new place is engaging and can deprive you of sleep for a night or two prior to leaving. The anxieties are multiplied when the destination is to be one unendingly fraught with mysteries and opinions shaped by media and a not-so-fancy history of contention. I remember the moment I had shared at home the news of my travel to China as a part of the Indian Think Tanks’ Delegation this summer. Ma was hesitant, Dad confused. Well, how they would not be, for how could they overlook the popular discourse in India and especially in our part of the country (Assam) concerning China...
