🌺 The honorable DM and his team offered puja to our presiding deities, Sri Sri Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra Devi and Sri Sri Gour Nitai, seeking blessings for the festival’s success.
🍛 They visited our mega kitchen, which is tirelessly preparing 30,000–40,000 meals daily for distribution to pilgrims attending the Gangasagar Mela 2025. The team was awestruck by the scale of operations, including the gigantic Kadai used for cooking—a marvel that could fit 4–5 adults! With 5–6 operational setups, we are ensuring that every pilgrim is served freshly prepared, nourishing prasadam with love and devotion.
The DM and his team were deeply moved by the seamless execution of this massive endeavor and extended heartfelt appreciation for ISKCON's commitment to serving humanity through prasadam distribution. 💛
