Many devotees assembled at the Kalyani around 6:00 pm to be blessed with the darshan of Lord Nityananda and witness the Pallakki utsava and the Teppotsava. At 6:15 pm the Deities of Srila Prabhupada and Nitai-Gauranga (Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda) were brought to the Kalyani in a pallakki. Devotees participated in kirtans and danced as the pallakki made its way to the Kalyani.

As the pallakki reached the Kalyani at 6:30 pm, the Deities of Srila Prabhupada and Nitai Gauranga were placed in the boat. Elated devotees indulged in singing melodious bhajans and kirtans. The Deities were taken around the Kalyani for three rounds in the boat. During the first round, the devotees offered flowers to the Deities to seek Their blessings, on the second and third rounds prasadam was distributed to all the assembled devotees.
