New Year to bring in hassle-free darshan in Srimandir

PURI: Come New Year, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) will introduce a hassle-free system for public darshan of the Trinity in Srimandir.

Chief administrator Arabinda Padhee on Thursday said separate queues for women, children and male devotees will be created. They will have darshan of the Trinity from the Natamandap of the temple. Efforts are underway to make special provisions for Divyang devotees to have darshan of the deities.

The new arrangements are in line with the decision taken at the recent meeting of Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan with OBCC officials and temple servitors over raising collapsible barricades and ramps in Natamandap for public darshan, he said.
