In the last day after full moon on 26.03.2024 is the day of Mahotsav. On the day the a special bhog (food for lord) was offered. The idols are dressed with new clothes and gold ornaments. It belive that lord Jagannath also known form of Lord Krishna will have invisibly food from each container or malsa containing same food and it become mahaprasad i.e. sacred food.

There was a three day long football tournament organised by Behala Club in different format. It was their first year.

On 31.03.2024 the final match. Different teams of locality and Subrberban participated in the tournament. There were lot excitement and fun. Even there are players from Nigeria also in a team. They usually come for playing in the big clubs. It is very tough to get invitation from big clubs. The usually bring plyers who have represented National level at least. However this tournament are popular in locality. I visited the ground all three days. They gave each a participation memento. There were winners and runners up trophy.
