Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi officially moved into his new residence on Raj Bhavan Marg in Bhubaneswar on Thursday.
The housewarming ceremony, marked by several rituals, including the worship of two cows, took place at 10:47 AM. The CM was accompanied by his wife during the ceremony.
The official residence had remained unoccupied for the past 26 years, with former Chief Ministers Janaki Ballabh Patnaik and Giridhar Gamang being its last occupants. After assuming office, Majhi stayed in government quarters on Gandhi Marg for approximately eight months before making the move to the new residence.
A priest involved in the ceremony detailed that the rituals began with the worship of cows, followed by other traditional practices.
This event marks a new chapter for the official CM residence on Raj Bhavan Marg, now home to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
