A new approach for designing satellite constellations whereby each satellite follows a common ground track is being proposed for performing high-precision change detection imagery for long periods of time. By precisely prescribing the orbital parameters, i.e., the relationship between the right ascension of the ascending nodes (RAAN) and the phase angle difference between successive satellites, for example, sharpened change detection images may be taken from successive satellites in the constellation without the need to process out blurring by any special image re-working software. The relationship between the orbital parameters of the satellites is precisely tuned to the earth's rotation rate for the altitude of the satellites. A reduction in the total satellite count is achievable due to tiling the satellite coverage in near optimal arrangements. Such high-precision change detection imaging by successive satellites in orbit around the earth is at least useful in the detection of underground facilities activities and the detection of slow moving objects.
1. A constellation of satellites having a common ground track for providing change detection, comprising:
at least a first and a second satellite configured in at least two adjacent orbital planes; said first satellite given a predetermined right ascension of ascending node (RAAN1), phasing (F1) and inclination (i), a RAAN2 and a phasing F2 for the at least second satellite being determined in radians by satisfying the expressions RAAN2=mod(RAAN1+RAAN0, 2π) and 2πF2=mod(2πF1−2πk RAAN0, 2π), respectively, said k representing the number of times the satellites will orbit the earth in a specified period and said RAAN0 representing the longitude difference between the at least two different orbital planes,
wherein a common ground track for said at least first and second satellites is obtained.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to satellite constellations and more particularly to satellite constellations orbiting on common ground tracks for providing enhanced space based change detection.
2. Description of Related Art
A typical method for detecting moving targets, that has been used by intelligence personnel for more than 50 years, is to search for changes in these common images. Change detection, as this process might be referred, allows one to analyze moving targets by examining successive images such synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) or optical images. Also, areas where tunnels or underground bunkers are under construction have been generally located by comparing temporally displaced images.
Ideally, when change detection is performed one wants to take the images from a fixed platform. However, in practice one takes the images from mobile platforms such as planes or satellites. However, the motion and displacement of the platforms when the images are taken may distort and blur the change detection images. Existing imaging systems try to minimize these effects by tasking the sensor systems aboard the mobile platforms at near optimum collection times.
The problem is that most satellite systems that are used for reconnaissance have not been designed with the object of performing change detection with minimal blurring and distortion. For example, as shown in
However, a typical problem with satellites organized into orbital planes, either the same orbital plane or different orbital planes, is that the ground tracks/paths, i.e., the movement of beams across the surface of the earth, are typically not common. In other words, different ground tracks are typically drawn out with successive satellites.
Most existing satellite constellations are based on a type of configuration known as the Walker orbit configuration, which is illustrated in
However, such Walker configurations are sub-optimal configurations because they fail to provide minimal satellite counts and high revisit rates to particular regions on the earth. Furthermore, Walker obits are restricted to having a phasing parameter, F, that must be an integer in the range of 0 and P−1, where P represents the number of planes being used.
In addition, as shown in
These distinctive (uncommon) ground tracks/paths of the Walker configuration are illustrated in
Furthermore, observe that there are six distinctive ground traces in
As noted above, in
Imagine if detection images were to be taken from both satellite 1 and satellite 2. When these images are actually taken of a common region of the earth, blurring and distortion of the images will occur because the two satellites follow different ground tracks/paths. A technique which has been used to remove these defects from the images is called morphing. For example, morphing is used to stretch and twist the images to compensate for the blurring and distortion.
However, even when this morphing technique is performed, errors still remain in the images due to the fact that the images are of three-dimensional regions, instead of two-dimensional regions. In other words, the stretching and twisting of the images by using the morphing technique may compensate for the blurring and distortion of two-dimensional images but does not adequately compensate for three-dimensional images which are typically taken by satellites.
What is needed is a common ground track satellite constellation that provides sharpened change detection images with minimal blurring and distortion.
An aspect of the present invention to provide a method for determining the orbital parameters for groups of satellites in common ground track orbits.
It is a further aspect of the present invention to provide sharpened change detection images having minimal image blurring and distortion from a space based apparatus.
Still another aspect of the present invention is to provide constellation of satellites organized along common ground tracks with reduced numbers due to tiling of the satellites.
Further, an aspect of the present invention is to define a constellation that is composed of common ground tracks for multiple satellite traversals.
These and other aspects of the present invention are at least achieved by a group of asymmetrical satellites designed to provide either continuous world-wide or regional coverage for applications including, but not limited to, high-precision change detection imaging by successive satellites in orbit around the Earth, in the detection of underground facilities activities and slow moving objects, for example.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific embodiments, while disclosing the preferred embodiments of the invention, are being provided by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications coming within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood when the accompanying drawings are considered together with the detailed description provided hereinafter and which are provided by way of illustration only, and thus are not meant to be limitative of the invention, and wherein:
For a general understanding of the features of the present invention, reference is made to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals/characters are used throughout to identify identical or similar elements. While the present invention will be described in terms of an illustrative embodiment or embodiments, it will be understood that the invention is adaptable to a variety of constellation design techniques, such that the present invention is not necessarily limited to the particular embodiment or embodiments shown and described herein. To the contrary, the following description is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, as may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention.
A new procedure for designing satellite constellations capable of performing spaced-based global change detection are presented herein which are based on common ground tracks/paths. These new satellite constellation designs can do away with morphing techniques by providing enhanced images that are literally taken along the same path each time. Such satellite constellations can include a total satellite count that is as good as, and more often are fewer than, prior art constellations.
Such new satellite constellation designs are organized along common ground tracks so as to be able to perform high-precision change detection imagery for longer periods of time. Such high-precision change detection imaging by successive satellites in orbit around the earth is particularly useful in the detection of underground facilities activities and the detection of moving objects. The high-precision imagery can be captured via the satellites by using any number of change detection means typically used in satellite technology. Such change detection means may include SAR, optical, UV, infrared or other imaging systems or combinations thereof.
The satellite constellations as provided herein can be launched into orbit by any of numerous launch vehicles capable of doing the same. The satellites in the constellation may be launched from different launch vehicles or the satellites may all be launched from the same launch vehicle or any combination thereof. Whichever way they reach orbit, once in orbit, such satellite constellations are provided with station keeping arrangements to ensure that they follow the desired ground tracks/paths. Station keeping is required in order to minimize the amount of drifting typically encountered by satellites due in part to the elliptical shape of the earth. This drifting of the satellites is generally a non-linear effect. Station keeping of the herein described new constellation designs helps to ensure the common ground tracks/paths.
As illustrated below, the new satellite constellation designs are also capable of having reduced satellite counts due to the technique of tiling the satellites coverage in a near optimal arrangement.
For example, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention,
Altitudes selected for illustrating the novel approach for satellite constellation design will take the above noted effects of a spherical earth into account and will result in orbits with integer and non-integer numbers of traces in a 24-hour period. In the sections to follow, all of the above noted effects are taken into account to develop a practical preferred embodiment to this invention.
For example,
For an oblate spheroid model of the Earth, slightly smaller altitudes (radius) are found for any given value of k. During the analysis stage, any desired altitude can be found by trial and error or exactly using the commercially available Satellite Tool Kit (STK) orbital mechanics simulator, for example.
In essence, this inventor has discovered that satellites having common ground tracks/paths are characterized by the following relationships:
As shown in
All satellites, that have the same RAAN1, F1, and k that satisfies the above equations (1)-(5), will have a common ground track. In other words, by starting with a predetermined value for RAAN1, F1 and the inclination, the difference between two adjacent satellites (placed in different orbital planes) can be calculated wherein a common ground track is achieved. First, the parameters for satellite 1 are designed, then the parameters for satellite 2 are calculated using modular arithmetic formulas (4) and (5). Formulas (4) and (5) rely on dividing the combination of the RAAN and the differential RAAN by 2π radians and looking for multiples of 2π radians, thereby achieving a common ground track.
Formulas (4) and (5) can also by expressed in terms of degrees wherein 2π radians could be replaced with 360�. If it is desired that all satellites be equally spaced, then one would take 360� and divide by the number of satellites. However, any arbitrary spacing between satellites can be derived.
Furthermore, unequal phasing may be chosen, which will make it difficult to predict the passage of the next satellite and a group of unequally spaced satellites. In either case, satellite 1 and satellite 2 will follow the same track on the ground. Satellite 2 will substantially overlap the ground track made by the orbit of satellite 1.
By lining up the appropriate RAAN, inclination and phasing nearly perfectly, a common ground track can be achieved. Furthermore, by varying the RAAN0, the longitude difference between orbital planes 1 and 2, by any amount desired, satellite 1 and satellite 2 can be real close together or far apart. Exactly where the satellites should be placed can be determined so that their orbits will carve out the same ground track. Thereafter, by precisely synchronizing the images taken from the successive satellites traveling along this common ground track, very high precision (pixel level or sub-pixel level) change detection images can be achieved when pixel-by-pixel differences are taken of the successive images. The precision of the change detection images is characterized by the timing and frequency synchronized aboard the two spacecrafts.
In addressing the problems noted above, an example involving two satellites orbiting in a common plane (See
Notice, in
To design a constellation in this manner, the spacing and phasing between satellites in adjacent planes need to be adjusted to form a string of satellites traveling along a common ground track, with coverage regions that overlap between successive satellites throughout its length. Several such common ground tracks (not necessarily co-located) may be constructed and tiled such that there are no gaps in the coverage of the earth between two desired latitudes (a common ground track constellation requirement). A string of satellites may be designed close together so as to look down upon a particular region of the earth for longer periods of time. In this instance, the RAAN0, the difference between RAANs, will be very narrow or small.
The above example 1 results can be extended to define a string or constellation of satellites optimized to provide maximal contiguous coverage with the least number of satellites. For instance, another preferred embodiment illustrates a string of 10 satellites that exemplifies this approach. Also, by design, when one satellite in the string goes out of range of that spot on the earth, the next satellite would pick up the spot. The difference between the two positions are designed for the electronics aboard the satellites to meet the requirements that they would be able to transfer the job from one satellite to the next. However, there is no restriction of being able to pass off the task of looking at a given ground point from one satellite to the next. Furthermore, there is no requirement that the spacing between satellites be uniform.
In yet another example, a string of satellites that provides contiguous coverage over any point on earth for some predefined period of time is designed. The specification for this string of satellites is determined in the following manner.
First, the radius of coverage, ro, is determined for an individual satellite.
From this geometry, one finds that the coverage radius is given by:
The coverage radius is formulated in terms of the driving requirements: the minimum graze angle, φ, and the satellite radius, a, with respect to the center of the earth.
Second, the spacing between satellites, d, and the width of the contiguous coverage region, w, is determined by optimizing the width with respect to the total area coverage. Using a flat earth model (see
Any string of satellites, defined by this prescription, will provide the largest contiguous coverage using the least amount of satellites.
Based on the above methodology, a string of satellites that can be used for change detection can easily be devised. This methodology has been tested using the STK (Satellite Tool Kit) orbital mechanics simulator. Any similar type of simulator may also be used.
Below, Table 1 lists the major orbital characteristics of the ten satellites in this exemplified change detection system of satellites.
Specifically, Table 1 lists the orbital characteristics of ten satellites for a single revolution ground track that could be used to build a constellation. A single revolution of the ground track is chosen as the unit for tiling because it minimizes the number of regions of discontinuity on the earth's surface which is required to get a desired level of coverage. The discontinuity in joining the ends of the ground track is due to the compression in the eastward distance traveled by a satellite due to the earth's rotation.
The present invention does not preclude having multiple regions of discontinuity that will occur when the tiling ground track is made to be less than one revolution. Furthermore, the present invention does not preclude having discontinuous regions of discontinuity such as exhibited when the tiling ground track is greater than one revolution. Furthermore, the present invention does not preclude having no regions of discontinuity. This last case occurs when the tiling ground track closes on itself. However, in this latter case, the closure requirement restricts the altitudes at which these "perfect" constellations (constellations with optimal coverage) can be built.
The set of satellites as illustrated in Table 1 were programmed into the Satellite Tool Kit (STK) orbital mechanics simulator to demonstrate/verify the level of coverage and the ground tracks for this collection of satellites. The STK Simulator, by Analytical Graphics, is basically a validated computer model for detailed evaluation of constellation configurations. It can accurately propagate all satellite orbits, including high ordered perturbation effects due to the earth's oblateness.
In addition, the contiguous coverage time for this string of ten satellites turns out to be approximately 2 hours, 7 minutes and 45 seconds. However, for most points on the earth the string of satellites will pass over the point between 2 and 3 times before a gap in the coverage occurs. Thus, the total contiguous coverage time for an image is between 4.25 and 6.4 hours. Two, ostensibly orthogonal, images can be taken of a given area per day. This feature is due to the fact that in these orbits the ground traces cross each other at numerous locations throughout the earth.
Next, as illustrated in
Table 1 illustrates satellites in a first ground track tile, Table 2 illustrates satellites in a second ground track tile, Table 3 illustrates satellites in a third ground track tile, Table 4 illustrates satellites in a fourth ground track tile, and Table 5 illustrates satellites in a fifth ground track tile. A tile is related to the visualization of the region unique to each satellite.
All common ground track tiles in a constellation have common factors of k and RAAN0. Common ground track constellations (common k) can be designed with tiles of differing RAAN0 values when there is a requirement to change the number of satellites in-view over various periods of time.
Common ground tracks of one revolution are joined together at an interface. In other words, the common ground tracks are tiled (overlapped) to provide the desired coverage of the earth. One characteristic of this type of tiling is the presence of a region of dislocations in which greater coverage exists than elsewhere on earth. With the appropriate spacing between satellites, this tiling approach can lead to gapless coverage (between two desired latitudes).
Illustrated in
For example, for a hexagonal packed array, I=π/3, of satellite access regions oriented with one of its three axes along the common ground track and another axis along the equator, the inclination, i=i1 in radians, of the individual satellites is found to be given by
Normally the equilateral triad will completely tile a plane without any dislocations. However, in tiling the earth, the spinning of the earth causes the tiles to meet along a line of dislocation. The spinning of the earth is somewhat equivalent to twisting a surface that needs to be tiled. The line of dislocation is parallel to the third axis of the triad (at an angle equal to I−2π/3 radians, see
Assuming the phasing to the first satellite in an equilateral triad is zero, 2πF0=0, the phasing, 2πF1 in radians, to the second satellite in an equilateral triad is given by
Assuming the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN) to the first satellite in an equilateral triad is zero, RAAN0=0, the right ascension of the ascending node, RAAN1 in radians, to the second satellite in an equilateral triad is given by
The spacing between satellites along the ground track, d, and within the equilateral triad (see
The number of satellites, S, along one complete ground track is given by
The above solution is merely approximate. An even better solution involves analysis of the region of dislocations (see
Using the above relations the revised values for the number of satellites per ground track can be found from
Ground tracks, shorter or longer than the above-prescribed common ground tracks, can be used to tile the Earth. Constellations made from one or more common ground tracks of any length that tile the earth are well within the scope of the disclosed invention. Furthermore, coverage with and without the regions of dislocation are feasible and within the scope of the proposed invention.
The above detailed description merely illustrates the principles of common ground track constellations and the applicability to space based SAR change detection. Other embodiments, such as for optical, UV, infrared or other imaging systems, are also feasible based on the principles of this invention and are considered to be within the spirit and scope of this disclosure.
This invention at least enables high precision (pixel level or better) change detection and differential SAR imagery. This type of imagery is very useful in detecting very slow moving objects and locating potential underground construction sites, a key reconnaissance activity for today's intelligence agencies.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail herein, it should be understood that many variations and/or modifications of the inventive concepts herein taught still fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Sustainable farming gets down to earth
Under your feet is something very ordinary but essential to life-soil. It grows the food we eat and regulates the water, carbon and nutrient cycles that shape our environment and climate. To help keep farming sustainable, EU-funded researchers have mapped out the long-term impacts of how farmers use soil, and developed a tool and guidelines to support best practices in farms.

Elastic road surface reduces motorway noise pollution
Noise pollution is still an issue on Europe's roads. But thanks to technological advances, it's less down to the sound of the car's engine and more about how tyres touch the road surface. One solution is being tested in Denmark where part of the road has been covered with experimental surface material that dampens the tyre noise.

Just a quick announcement to say that I have two week-long lighting workshops in Maine next summer.
Creative Lighting On Location will run from July 29 to August 4. The workshop will focus on my approach to using large strobes on location shoots.
Canon Speedlites Demystified will run August 19-25. Last summer, this workshop sold out. So, if you're interested, don't wait. You can see some of the great shots made by my students here. Also, you can read about a seven-light shoot I did during the workshop here.

One Response to Spend A Week In Maine With Me Next Summer
Maxfield says:
Thank you SO much for sharing your expertise! It's a phenomenal help, I really appreciate it.
I am just now getting into using speedlights and have gobbled up a few of your videos to help guide the way.
Something I noticed when using my brand new speedlights is that the batteries seem to die rather quickly. After one or two photo shoots they seem to require replacement. Is this normal?

Diane Noyes-Cole
unknown - September 11, 2012
Two days prior to her 73rd birthday, Sept. 13, 1939, Diane Noyes-Cole died peacefully Sept. 11, 2012, at her home in the loving embrace of her family.
Born in Chicago, Ill, raised in Connecticut and Cazenovia, she attended Miss Hall's School for Girls in Pittsfield, Mass., and Bradford College in Haverhill, Mass. After college, she worked at NBC Studios in New York City and Colgate College in Hamilton. Upon her marriage to Alan Noyes in 1960, she moved west to Denver, Colo., and then to Albuquerque, N.M., where she worked as an art consultant while raising her family. She owned and operated The Janus Gallery in Santa Fe, N.M., until her move to California where she became advertising manager for the San Francisco Opera Magazine before moving to Sonoma and her marriage to Dick Cole in 1990. She was last a realtor with Coldwell Banker, Brokers of the Valley.
Diane was predeceased by her parents, Harold and Priscilla Wilkins, of Santa Barbara. She is survived by her husband, Dick; her brother, Robert Wilkins, of Mill Valley CA; her sister, Lynne Wilkins, of Westlake Village CA; and her three children, Greg Noyes, of Redondo Beach CA; Eric Noyes, of Bozeman, Mont.; Sara Noyes, of Los Angeles; and their respective spouses, Sara Straton, Juliette Shaw, Peter Vitale; and seven grandchildren, Alex, Zachary, Crawford, Oliver, Ceci, Max and Stella.
The out-of-doors was Diane's milieu. In Cazenovia during the 1950s, she loved riding in the hunt on the Hubbard's property, playing tennis, water and snow skiing, the wonderful times with many friends in the family home on Rippleton Road. In Idaho, fly fishing and riding her beloved Cheyenne, at the family ranch in Idaho, were her favorite things.
She was the epitome of grace under pressure and best exhibited it during her long struggle with cancer, during which time she received exemplary care from Hospice By The Bay. She leaves behind a community of loving friends. Her indomitable spirit endures to comfort and assure us all.
Contributions in her memory may be made to the American Indian Institute, 502 W. Mendenhall St., Bozeman, MT, or to the Henry's Fork Foundation, P.O. Box 550, Ashton, Idaho. A memorial service was held on Saturday, Sept. 29at the Trinity Episcopal Church, 275 E. Spain St.
"Now let the mystery begin," – Henry Ward Beecher.

Those look like they might be for the integral film photos, the 600 and SX 70, but I can't tell for sure from the picture (would need to measure and see). I'm just getting started with the peel apart film and don't have enough to store yet.
I was thinking I'd maybe try small photo storage boxes that someplace like Lumiere in Rochester carries, or I might try a small scrapbook and photo corners. I've found some older Print File pages still in the original packaging, or even a vintage photo album to hold the integral size prints, but not anything much for the pack film photos.
You might try the Pittsburgh Photo Exchange, I think they have two locations, one that sells new equipment and one that has all kinds of vintage items; they sell on eBay and have their own website and I've gotten some nice used items from them.


text: Years ago I assembled a portfolio when applying for a photographic job. After culling thousands of slides down to a few hundred, I checked them for sharpness under a 50X microscope. Many slides that had always appeared quite sharp when projected showed camera movement. Since then I use a tripod most of the time.

List of festivals observed at Jagannatha Temple, Puri
There are elaborate daily worship services. There are many festivals each year attended by millions of people. A large number of traditional festivals are observed by the devotees of Jagannath. Out of those numerous festivals, twelve are important.[1]
- Snana Yatra
- Ratha Yatra or Sri Gundicha Yatra
- Sri Hari Sayan
- Utthapan Yatra
- Parswa Paribartan
- Dakhinayan Yatra
- Prarbana Yatra
- Pusyavishek
- Uttarayan
- Dola Yatra
- Damanak Chaturdasi [2]
- Akshaya Tritiya
Snana Yatra[edit]
On the Purnima of the month of Jyestha the Gods are ceremonially bathed and decorated every year on the occasion of Snana Yatra.
Ratha Yatra[edit]
Ratha Yatra is most significant of all festivals of Jagannath. The Jagannath triad are usually worshiped in the sanctum of the temple, but once during the month of Asadha (Rainy Season of Odisha, usually falling in month of June or July), they are brought out onto the Bada Danda (The main high street of Puri) and travel (3 km) to the Shri Gundicha Temple, in huge chariots (Rath), allowing the public to have Darshan (Holy view). This festival is known as Rath Yatra, meaning the festival (Yatra) of the chariots (Ratha). Ratha-Yatra is also termed as the Shri Gundicha yatra.
This spectacular festival includes a procession of three huge chariots bearing the idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra through the Bada Danda meaning the Grand Avenue of Puri till their final destination the Gundicha Temple.[3]
Sri Hari Sayan[edit]
This is the sayana utsav (sleeping ceremony) of the Lord. Sri Hari Sayan festival of Lord Jagannath is observed on the Asadha sukla edadashi (June–July).[4]
Chandan Yatra[edit]
In Akshaya Tritiya every year the Chandan Yatra festival marks the commencement of the construction of the Chariots of the Rath Yatra.
During panchaka lots of people wait for different Vesha of deities.[5] Different vesha like Dalakia vesha, Adakia vesha, Laksmi Nrusingha Vesha,Trivikrama vesha and finally on the day of Kartik Purnima lord is decorated in Rajarajeswara vesha
One of the most grandiloquent events associated with the Lord Jagannath, Naba Kalabera takes place when one lunar month of Ashadha is followed by another lunar month of Aashadha. This can take place in 8, 12 or even 18 years.[6] Literally meaning the "New Body" (Nava = New, Kalevar = Body). The event involves installation of new images in the temple[7] and burial of the old ones in the temple premises at Koili Vaikuntha. The idols that are currently being worshipped in the temple premises were installed in the year 1996.
Literally means vacation. Every year, the main idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra & Sudarshan after the holy Snana Yatra on the jyestha purnima, go to a secret altar named Anavasara Ghar where they remain for the next dark fortnight (krishna paksha). Hence devotees are not allowed to view them. Instead of this devotees go to nearby place Brahmagiri to see their beloved lord in the form of four handed form Alvarnath a form of Vishnu.[8] Then people get the first glimpse of lord on the day before Rath Yatra, which is called 'Navayouvana. It is said that the gods fall in fever after taking a huge bath and they are treated by the special servants named, Daitapatis for 15 days. During this period cooked food is not offered to the deities.[9]
Niladri Bije[edit]
Celebrated on Asadha Trayodashi.[10] Niladri Bije is the concluding day of Ratha yatra. On this day deities return to the ratna bedi.[11] [12] Lord Jagannath offers Rasgulla to goddess Laxmi to enter in to the temple.[13] [14]
Gupta Gundicha[edit]
The annual shodasha dinatmaka or 16 day puja beginning 8 days prior to Mahalaya of Ashwin month for goddess Vimala and ending on Vijayadashami, is of great importance, in which both the utsava murty of lord Madanmohan and Vimala take part.
Celebrated for 16 days from Ashwina Krushna dwitiya to Vijayadashami.[15] As per tradition, the idol of Madhaba, along with the idol of Goddess Durga (known as Durgamadhaba), is taken on a tour of the temple premises. The tour within the temple is observed for the first eight days. For the next eight days, the idols are taken outside the temple on a palanquin to the nearby Narayani temple situated in the Dolamandapa lane. After their worship, they are brought back to the temple.[16]
Many festivals like Dol Yatra in spring and Jhulan Yatra in monsoon are celebrated by temple every year.Pavitrotsava and Damanaka utsava are celebrated as per panchanga or panjika.There are special ceremonies in the month of Kartika and Pausha.
- Pana Sankranti: Also known or Vishuva Sankranti and Mesha Sankranti: Special rituals are performed at the temple.[17]
- Chitalagi Amabasya: Also known as Chitau Amabasya celebrated on Srabana Amavasya [18](July–August), the gold and precious stone set Chitas those are removed from the deities on the Snana Purnima (Snana Yatra) night are again adorned on them.[19]
