If we ever think, what is the highest number of drawings done in Odisha, then what can it be? That is none other than Lakshmi feet and Padma ( ଲକ୍ଷ୍ମୀ ପାଦ ଓ ପଦ୍ମ).
Goddess Lakshmi is related with virtue, opulence, excellence and promise. Her footprints connote an unadulterated and purified space . The drawings of Lakshmi feet liberates the home from negative energies. It is believed that drawings of Goddess Lakshmi feet in the entrance brings glory and prosperity to the householder.
Daily at least five thousand Lakshmi feet are drawn in the Lakshmi temple of Puri Jagannath temple . The rough estimation comes around 5 thousand x 365 = 18 lakh 25 thousand in Lakshmi temple only.
All the four weeks ( particularly on Thursday) of the month of Odia month Margshir, at least one crore people draw Lakshmi feet in their respective homes. If each person draws 10 Lakshmi feet on Thursday , the total figure comes around 10 x 1,00,00,000 x 4 = 40 crores in a single month
No other single picture is drawn in such a huge number on a single day on any other place on earth.This is an undeclared world record.
It should be registered in any book of world record and certified as a world heritage.
