Sub: Rethinking our own pasts and glory through Jagannath’s ornaments and his ‘life world’ how it’s impacted essence of Adivasis Culture on Jagannath Cult through Showcase the Instrumental paradigm related to God and Goddess of Odisha with Museum Culture.

Dear Sir

I would like to to bring your attention for writing for a matter of great cultural and historical significance for Odisha. As a devout follower of Lord Jagannath and a concerned citizen, I wish to emphasize the importance of showcasing the ornaments of Lord Jagannath and establishing a dedicated museum for our cultural heritage and the glory of the Jagannath cult.

The ornaments of Lord Jagannath are not merely objects of adornment; they embody centuries of craftsmanship, devotion, and cultural heritage of Odisha. These sacred items have immense historical value and serve as a testament to the rich traditions of our state. Preserving and displaying them in a museum would not only celebrate our cultural identity but also educate future generations about our proud legacy.

Furthermore, the establishment of such a museum would provide a platform to showcase the intricate making process of these ornaments. This would not only highlight the skill and artistry of our craftsmen but also promote tourism and cultural exchange, attracting visitors from across the globe to witness the beauty and spirituality of Odisha.

In addition to the ornaments of Lord Jagannath, I propose that the museum also include sections dedicated to Odisha's tribal history. It is crucial to recognize and celebrate the contributions of our tribal communities, whose heritage is deeply intertwined with the cultural fabric of our state. By incorporating their history into the museum, we can ensure a comprehensive representation of Odisha's diverse cultural tapestry.

I urge you, as our esteemed Chief Minister, to consider this proposal seriously. Establishing a museum for the ornaments of Lord Jagannath and our cultural heritage would not only preserve our legacy for future generations but also serve as a beacon of pride and identity for all Odias. It is a step towards reaffirming our commitment to honoring our past and inspiring future generations to cherish and safeguard our cultural treasures.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your positive response and support in making this vision a reality.

Yours sincerely,

Bikram Keshori Jena
Director, CARD, Odisha
