‘Bada Osha’ was celebrated at Dhabaleswar Temple in Odisha’s Cuttack district on Sunday without participation of the devotees due to restrictions of the district administration.

The Bada Osha, one of major festivals at the temple, is attended by thousands of devotees every year. But the administration restricted the visit of devotees by crossing the suspension bridge over Mahanadi to the temple. It imposed prohibitory order under Section 144 of CrPC at the bridge.
