Snana Yatra, Rath Yatra To Be Held Without Devotees

Puri: Snana Yatra will be conducted as per the rituals inside the temple premises at the Meghanad Pacheri with limited number of servitors, said Puri Gajapati Dibyasingha Deb after the Srimandir Managing Committee Meeting with the State government on Saturday.

“Puri Srimandir will remain out of bounds for devotees in view of the coronavirus situation. The State government will take decision on conduct of  the Rath Yatra but it will not be possible to allow devotees to gather near Puri Badadanda in view of COVID19,” the Puri Gajapati said.

He said the information and public relations department will make arrangements for live telecast and webcast of Snana Yatra and Rath Yatra rituals and share the feed with media houses. He requested devotees to stay safe at home and watch the telecast on TV
