Festival Entering its 48th Year
Thane’s Shri Jai Ambe Mata Navratrotsav Mandal is celebrating the 48th year of its festival this year. The event was initiated by the late leader Anand Dighe. Held for years, this festival remains a major attraction for devotees during Navratri.
Carrying forward the tradition of this religious event started by Anand Dighe, special decorations and a religious ambiance are created every year. This time, the event is being given a unique character through the plan to construct a replica of the Badrinath Temple.
As the festival enters its 48th year, the organizers have based the decorations on a specific theme rooted in religious faith. Through the Badrinath Temple replica, plans are in place to offer devotees a glimpse of the grandeur and spiritual atmosphere of the famous Uttarakhand pilgrimage site.
Massive Badrinath Temple Replica Ready
For this year’s Navratri festival, a massive replica of the holy Badrinath Temple (located in Uttarakhand) is being constructed. This replica will be one of the event’s key highlights. The aim is to allow devotees to experience the sacred atmosphere of ‘Devbhoomi’ Uttarakhand. Work is underway on a special design and décor to create a replica of the temple. This initiative aims to craft a visual experience inspired by the architecture and religious identity of the Badrinath Dham shrine. Devotees visiting to seek blessings from Goddess Durgeshwari during Navratri will have the opportunity to view this special décor.
The organizers have planned an elaborate set for the festival this time. Special attention is being paid to the layout to ensure the replica of the holy site becomes the event’s main attraction.
Design Created by Aman Vidhate and His Team
The design for the grand set featuring the Badrinath Temple replica has been created by renowned art director Aman Vidhate and his team. The team aims to artistically present the sacred religious atmosphere of Uttarakhand.
The set’s design emphasizes reflecting the identity of the Badrinath Temple and the spiritual ambiance of ‘Devbhoomi’ (the Land of Gods). The plan is to make this décor—being prepared for the Navratri festival—a unique experience for the devotees.
Final touches are currently being applied to the décor and other preparations at the Mandal (organizing committee’s venue). Eknath Shinde also visited the site to inspect these preparations.
