Puri: Members of the Puri Jagannath Temple Managing Committee had informed that the rituals in the 12th-century shrine may get disrupted if the chariots of the Holy Trinity are not pulled after the customary ‘Agyan Mala’ niti.
After ‘Sakala Dhoopa’ the ‘Agyanmala’ will be taken to the three chariots.
