ALAMPUR

FESTIVALS

Almost all festivals on the Hindu religious calendar dear to gods and goddesses are celebrated throughout the year. As it is a Brahma-Hari-Hara kshetra, no auspicious occasion is missed for celebration with jubilation due, nor public participation and rejoicing is found lacking. Mahasivaratri, ear marked for Balabrahmeswara falling in Maghamasa, also witnesses the celebration of special prayer services to Suryanarayanaswamy, and festivals for Mother Jagulamba in Aswija masa are grand occasions, when gaiety and piety reach the climax.

Going round one feels that the glory of this kshetra, a unique of uniques is sadly unrecognised, else it would have eclipsed the world renowned, and yuga sold shrines of our Punya Bharat. Proper publicity restores it to its former glittering glory, and a sight of that spectacle makes one and all, blink and blink and blink .... If the Departments of Religious Endownment and Tourism, put in more efforts, the public will gaze and gape eternally. "When will that auspicious moment dawn? When God, When?" utter theists seeing them in ruins.
