Puri: In the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic, devotees will miss the rare ‘Anabasar’ darshan of Lord Alarnath at Brahmgiri in the district during the ‘Anasara’ period of Lord Jagannath and his siblings.
Devotees usually make a beeline in front of the shrine to have a glimpse of the Lord’s ‘Anabasar Darshan’ during the Anasara period of Lord Jagannath and his siblings every year.
It is believed that Lord Jagannath manifests as Lord Alaranath and pays darshan to his devotees while he is unwell following the ceremonial bath on Snana Purnima at Srimandir in Puri.
The district administration has decided to impose Section 144 of CrPC around the shrine to prevent public gathering and entry into the temple, Sub-collector Bhabataran Sahoo informed following a meeting with servitors and local tehsildar on Tuesday.
Lord Jagannath’s Snana Yatra was observed yesterday in Puri of Odisha. All the rituals of the festival were performed while there were no devotees to witness the holy event in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic.
After Snana Yatra, Lord Jagannath enters to the Anasara gruha and devotees are not allowed in to Srimandir.
