Declaring it a sacred moment in the spiritual landscape of Bengal, she called it a "Punya Lagna" and extended warm wishes to all on this significant day.

Built over three years through the tireless efforts of dedicated artisans and workers, the temple stands as a stunning symbol of devotion, community effort, and architectural grace. Thousands gathered at the site, including locals and pilgrims from various parts of Bengal, marking the event with prayer, celebration, and unity.

In a major gesture, CM Banerjee announced that arrangements would be made to send photographs and prasad from the temple to every household in the state. “Jagannath is not just a deity of Odisha. He belongs to all. Let Bengal feel his presence,” she said, emphasizing inclusive spiritual outreach.

The event witnessed a blend of tradition and modern infrastructure as the newly built temple complex showcased not just religious fervor but also the rich craftsmanship of Bengal. CM Banerjee took time to personally thank the workers who toiled for three years to bring the dream of Jagannath Dham to life.

“The Jagannath temple of Digha will remain a pilgrimage place for the next thousand years,” the Chief Minister declared, stressing the cultural and spiritual legacy the temple will carry forward. She reiterated her government's commitment to supporting religious harmony and tourism.
