On the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras which is celebrated two days before Deepawali, a large number of devotees visited Mahalaxmi Mandir situated around town.

A grand program of Chappan Bhog was held at Maha Laxmi Temple, Bhatiyani Chohta today.

Laden with beautifully emboss costume with fine silver work on it, the idol of Goddess Laxmi was decorated with ornamented circlet. The devotees offered Chappan Bhog (several varieties of sweets and eatables) which was followed by prayers.

The clothes of Goddess Laxmi were specially prepared by craftsmen from Kolkata who took more than a month to prepare the cloth as it has the minute work of ‘Danka’ and also contains pure silver worth Lakhs of rupees.
