According to the temple priests, devotees started thronging the temple from day break today by invocating the blessing service or Mangala Arti.

The temple, which was the cherished project of the late Bhaktiswarupa Damodara Swami has simple, spacious and yet appealing designs with remarkable natural lighting system providing excellent visibility of the Sankritan area (the central demarcated space for prayers and other activities).
Atop the Sankritan area and above the eight sets of columns, polished coloured gems imported from France are strategically placed along the path of the electric bulbs, displaying an enchanting spectrum of colours when the lights are turned on.
The deity chamber has three compartments-the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra idols, the abode of Jagatbandhu, Balabhadra and Sumitra on the right and idol of Goura Nitya on the left.
Earlier in the day a Mahayajna (Fire Service) was performed at the temple's court yard.
During the Arti ceremony, the followers chanted Harinams.
Spiritual leaders of the Bhagavata Culture delivered discourses on the virtues of its ideals.
Cultural programmes were held in the evening.
