Festival Costs
Below is a breakdown of what we are trying to collect for. We have calculated everything in US dollars based on the current rate in India (about RS 45 to one US dollar).
===========
$193 for pandal and sound system
$60 for flowers
$25 for pheni prasadam (a traditional Oriya sweet liked by Lord Jagannath and Guru Maharaja, sometimes called Jagannath tongues by Western devotees)
$ 1,500 for feast for everyone and guests at the Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir
=======================================
EXPENSES FOR BRINGING DAMODAR GIRI
AND GADEIGIRI KIRTANIYAS:
=======================================
Below is an approximation of the cost to bring and host ten of them:
Travel expenses per person = RS 900 each
Total for group travel RS 9,000 (US $200)
Prasadam approx 75 RS per day for each person for ten days (including travelling and being in Mayapur) = US $167.00
Gifts to honor the party: One new set of clothing for each of them (this is a traditional honor in Orissan society) RS 500 RS a set per person total = US $111.00. We did this last year. In addition to that, this year we would like to present each member a large framed photo of Sri Sri Radha Gopaljiu the deities in Gadeigiri. Cost for each photo and framing: RS 230, total in US for ten persons: $51.00. We would also like to give a donation to Damodar Giri of RS 2,000 (US $45.00 to help with his household affairs, medical etc.) Total for gifts: US $207.00
Housing: We can book two large rooms in the Nityananda Kutirs for them. Each room costs RS 180 per day (about US $4.00 per day for the entire group) Total for 7 days: $30.00
==========================================
Sub total in US to bring and accommodate
Damodar Giri Prabhu and company = $604
==========================================
=============================================
Total Amount including festival costs and accomodating
Damodar Giri Prabhu and company = $2,482
