Restrictions On Devotees’ Entry Into Jagannath Temple In Puri Withdrawn

Puri: With holy Kartik month coming to an end on Friday, the restrictions on the entry of devotees to Jagannath temple in Odisha’s Puri town have been withdrawn.

The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA), in a notification on the day, said the devotees can enter the temple through all four gates from Saturday.

The SJTA had imposed restrictions on the entry to the temple on October 18 considering heavy rush of devotees during the month. They come to the Pilgrim Town to go to the temple to offer puja.

As per the restrictions, the temple authorities had allowed entry through the Singhadwar (Lions’ Gate) and the Paschima Dwar (West Gate) only. They were allowed to exit the temple through any of the three gates except the Lions’ Gate.

With the restrictions withdrawn, they can enter through any of the four gates of the temple. But they have to come out only through three gates except the Lions’ Gate. However, the servitors and employees of the temple administration are exempted from the restrictions, the SJTA said.
