We 1 Seva Collective, Odisha

Together We Can.

We 1 is a small circle of friends who turn festivals into food — pooling whatever we can, however small, to feed the crowds who walk beside the Lord's chariot.

Who we are

One name, one purpose —
everyone welcome to add a rupee.

We 1 began as a WhatsApp thread between a handful of Odisha friends who wanted their festival contributions to go further than a temple donation box. Every year, whoever can travel, travels; whoever can only send ₹11, sends ₹11 — and both are logged in the same register with equal respect.

No office, no paperwork beyond a shared spreadsheet, no cut taken by anyone. What comes in for a seva goes out for that seva, rupee for rupee — and this website exists so that every one of our 198 contributors, from ₹1 to ₹50,000, can see exactly where it went.

Gundicha Seva 2026

Puri Rath Yatra — Food Donation Programme at Gundicha

For 2026, We 1 ran its food stall on the route to the Gundicha Temple, handing out packaged snacks and a cold drink to every pilgrim who stopped by during the days of the Yatra — no queue too long, no devotee turned away while supplies lasted.

Collection, by who brought it in

Devotee Contribution Register

Date Devotee Name Collected By Amount (₹)
Showing all entries ₹0

"Devotee (name not recorded)" marks cash handed over at the stall or in person, where the giver didn't leave a name — every rupee is still counted above. Bank-pooled entries combine many small individual transfers of the same size for brevity; the count is shown alongside each.

Where it was spent

Total expenditure₹3,16,178

13,000 water bottles

Sponsored directly by Tata Power, arranged through Susanta Kumar Das — supplied in kind, not routed through the cash register above.

40 volunteer T-shirts

Sponsored by Akshya Kumar Sahu, so every volunteer at the Gundicha stall was easy to spot in the crowd.

The register above totals slightly below the official collection figure (a difference of about ₹2,600) — the gap is small, unindividuated cash and bank-transfer amounts and minor bank charges that don't attach to a single name in our field notes. We've shown our workings rather than round anything away.

Want to be part of the next seva?

Whether you can give ₹11 or organise the next stall, We 1 has room for one more pair of hands. Reach out to any of the names in the register above, or watch this space for the next programme.
