Ananta Narayan Mela held at Bhadrak
BHADRAK

Lord Ananta Narayan’s mega Mela ended in a high festive fervour here. It is being observed each year for the last one hundred years at Asthala village, mid of the town here. The Ananta Narayan Temple was founded by late Surendra Chandra Nayak, a Gopabandhu Award recipient. Now, the temple is being managed by his wife Harapriya Nayak.

A huge crowd thronged the Mela. Bhajan Sandhya was performed by noted Odia devotional song artist Arabinda Muduli and his troupe and many other eminent singers.

Power Minister Antanu Sabyasachi Nayak graced it as the chief guest. Among others, former Revenue Minister Manomahan Samal, Dhamnagar MLA Rajendra Das, former MLA Naren Palai and ZP president Jagannath Swain also attended the function. For smooth management of law and order, SP Jay Narayan Pankaj and Town PS IIC Manoj Rout rendered their services.
