Mahadeepa Lifted Atop Lingaraj Temple In Bhubaneswar As Per Schedule

Bhubaneswar: The celebration of Maha Shivratri came to an end in Bhubaneswar after Mahadeepa (holy lamp) was placed atop Lingaraj temple at 10 pm on Friday.

As per the schedule, the rituals were performed for Lord Lingaraj in the temple since morning with thousands of devotees thronging the shrine since morning.

The servitors carrying the Mahadeepa conducted the Bedha Parikrama by moving around the temple. Then they climbed to the top the temple and placed it amid roaring slogans of “Har Har Mahadev” and “Om Namah Shivay”.

The holy lamp was atop the temple at the scheduled time. With this, the devotees broke their day-long fast observed on the occasion of the festival.

Earlier, all the rituals were concluded in time except during ‘Bhoga Mandap’ ritual. However, subsequent rituals were performed as per the time and the final act of taking the Mahadeepa ended on time.
