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”.
