Devotees visiting the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, are facing new restrictions implemented by the temple administration from the new year. The restrictions include the requirement for decent attire, a ban on indecently-clad visitors, restrictions on chewing pan and tobacco, and the prohibition of polythene use inside the temple. Additionally, a new darshan system has been introduced, allowing devotees to pass through an air-conditioned shed from Marichikote Chhak to the temple, equipped with amenities like drinking water and toilets. Male devotees are expected to wear traditional attire, pants, and shirts, while female devotees should wear sarees and salwar suits. The new measures aim to enhance the devotees’ experience and maintain decorum within the temple premises. Security arrangements and traffic control have been implemented to manage the surge of devotees during this period.
