Indian History Awareness and Research – IHAR had joined hands with the Shakti Khumb 2026 team as a knowledge partner, held in Odisha between 14 Feb – 21 Feb. The Shakti Khumb 2026 theme was based on Shakti, Bhakti, Prakriti & Shringar wherein the participants were provided with a wholesome experience around the theme through multiple workshops, lectures, temple visits, bhajans, Yoga, meditation, iconographic & architectural historiography of Odisha covering multifaceted aspects through the lens of Shri Jagannath Culture & it’s tapestry with the Shakti tattva, Natyashastra, Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda & a few more important literary texts. The icing on the Cake was the Rudrabhishekam on the Maha Shivaratri evening coupled with Shri Jagannath’s Mahaprasad Sevan. We sincerely thank the Shakti Khumb team for this spiritual & cultural engagement with the vision of the next Shakti Khumb in sight.
We share our deepest gratitude to Smt Nilima Bhat , Dr Usha Radhakrishna, Shri Bharat & Smt Neha from the Shakti Khumb team. We also take this opportunity to sincerely thank all the participants for their active participation & IHAR office holders Dr Adyasha Das & Dr Kumar Aurojyoti for their immense contributions. It was indeed exhilarating to see participants joining from Latin America & Europe & their avid interest in the Sanatan Sankriti.
