Bhubaneswar: In view of the COVID-19 pandemic in Odisha, there will be no religious activities of Kaudias (Bol Bom devotees) during the Odia calendar month of Shravan this year.
In a notification on Tuesday, the Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) said the Bol Bom devotees start their barefoot journey to the Shiva temples on Saturday and Sunday after collecting water from one religious place and pour the water on the Shiva Linga on every Monday of Shravana month.
