The entry and exit of devotees will be through Singhadwar (East Gate) and Hastidwara (North Gate).

While ‘Parmanik darshan’ (for paid ticket-holders) will be from 8 am to 9 am, ‘Sahana mela’ or free darshan will be from — 9 am to 10.30 am, 2 pm to 3 pm, 6 pm to 6.30 pm, 9 pm to 10.30 pm and 11.30 pm to 12.30 am, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) informed.
