Navi Mumbai News: Uran Gears Up For Datta Jayanti With Grand Festive Preparations
The Uran region has come alive with festive energy as preparations for Datta Jayanti, one of the area’s biggest annual celebrations, are underway with great enthusiasm. Villages across the region are witnessing elaborate decorations, devotional programmes and community-led activities organised by various festival committees.
A major highlight this year is the Dindi procession of Shri Dattaguru’s Padukas at Chirner–Katalpada, which drew overwhelming participation from devotees and set the tone for the three-day celebration that began on Thursday.
“This Dindi embodies our devotion and tradition. Every year the participation keeps growing,” said one of the organisers.
In Uran city, the Datta Jayanti fair has already begun drawing large crowds. For two days, the marketplace features stalls selling clothes, cosmetics, winter wear, decorative items and glassware. The giant swings set up at the N.I. High School ground are proving to be a major attraction for children and families. Temples in Deulwadi, New Popud, Pandive, Chirner, Uran Police Station and Nhava Sheva Police Station areas have been beautifully decorated for the occasion.
