Travelling upstream with Sripad Ban Maharaj leading
the Sankirttan, another local puzzle arises: how do they put cow-patties
to dry so high on the bridge's supports?

Hugging the shoreline to beat the current, the main
Nabadwip ghat approaches to port, whereupon our boat traverses the river
to dock at Swarupganj.
|
All disembark and continue on foot to the accompaniment
of lively chanting of the Holy Names.
|
Passing along the village roads until soon meeting
up with several other Maths a short distance from the town.
|
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur's vijay vigraha is then
brought out on a grandly decorated chariot as the centre of the procession
to his Bhajan Kutir and Samadhi Mandir at Swananda Sukhada Kunja.
