🌟2nd Prize winner - Eindhoven🌟
⛵️OSCAN Dangabhasa celebration ⛵️

(Shyamraj Panigrahi ,Sudha Pradhan,Sharmistha Mohanty,Sumita Nanda,Subhasmita Mishra,Aksh*ta Panigrah(kid) )

Representing Eindhoven, four families 👪 with children participated in our boat event, realizing a shared vision: "The Ancient Sadhaba Traders." Over one week, we constructed the boat using cardboard, cloth, and thermocol for buoyancy. The concept involved depicting the historical trade of art, ceramics, and spices, heavily integrating Odia cultural elements through drawings and physical props, such as a treasure box with jewelry, a small hut made from pipes and string, and traditional offerings. A particularly memorable and special experience was the collaborative process with the kids , answering their questions and researching historical details, like trying (unsuccessfully) to confirm the historical depiction of the sun symbol on the Kalinga flag.

*Dangabhasa celebration in the Netherlandsn: Keeping the Boita Bandana Spirit Afloat ⛵️*

By a proud Odia parent in Amstelveen (Sabyasachi, Swagatika and Shivansh Mohapatra) 👪

For the past decade, Amstelveen has been my home, but the core value I cherish is staying connected to my roots. I remember the childhood excitement of Boita Bandana in Odisha, waking up at dawn, crafting boats from banana bark, and floating them in nearby ponds. It’s that same feeling I want my six,year,old son to understand and experience.

This year, our family represented Amstelveen with a handmade boat built on the theme of "The Sadhabas' Voyage: Spreading the Culture of Lord Jagannath to Bali and Sumatra." My son and I, working together for three years now, have worked on it over the last two weeks, dedicating a few hours each evening to craft it from recycled thermocol and cardboard from leftover packaging. It was a joy to see his excitement as we created our Boita, a small tribute to the immense pride and emotion every Odia feels for Lord Jagannath. This tradition, for us, is about passing on that sacred connection to the next generation, far from home.

Jai Jagannath.
