Throughout the day, Indian National Television gave a live broadcast from Puri of the event, so all the asrama devotees assembled in the library to take darsana of Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra as they were carried to their chariots by their servants.

At midday a feast was offered to the Deities and honored by the devotees. The feast consisted of Khajas, sweet-dahl, paneer-butter masala, cauliflower and cheese subji, cauliflower and potato subji, papaya subji, tossed salad, rice, sambar, cake, puris, sandesa, struddle, sikharini juice, nimbu-pani, and sweet-rice.
