Amma in Kolkata
Bharata Yatra 2004
27 March 2004 — Kolkata, West Bengal
Amma's first program in Kolkata was held in the middle
of Richi Park, Maddox Square under a magnificently
constructed temporary structure. The backdrop to the
dais was done up in ochre and white and covered with
purple orchids.

The two chief guests of the program were the
Honourable Chief Justice Shri. A.K. Mathur of
the Kolkata High Court and Shri. Rajendra Kumar,
IAS, Principle Secretary, Urban Development. Both
men delivered short addresses about Amma, and
Chief Justice Mathur helped Amma distribute checks
to destitute women, as part of the Amrita Nidhi
pension program, which has now been extended
to Kolkata. |
The night grew cool and breezy about the time Amma
began singing bhajans, including Bengali versions of "Ma
Jagadambe Darshan Tere" and "Ananda Janani."
