Evening arati at Srila Sridhar Maharaj's Samadhi Mandir.

After arati, bhajans and readings led by Sripad B.P. Tirtha Maharaj, Bhudev Prabhu and other devotees of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, continued late into the night.

Guests and devotees from the surrounding villages continued to arrive throughout the night, in anticipation of the grand arati to be held at midnight.
By midnight, several hundred had gathered in the nat-mandir.
Sripad B.A. Paramahamsa Maharaj led the lively, enthusiastic midnight arati.

Meanwhile, preparations had already begun for the big feast to be held the next day, in honour of Sri Nandotsav and Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj's holy Appearance Day.
About 1 a.m. the devotees happily honoured simple non-grains anukalpa to break their total fast.
