Cremation at Swargadwar in Odisha’s pilgrim town of Puri has been made hassle-free with the district administration introducing the system of online registration for the purpose. To alleviate the long waiting times for registration, the administration has launched a website, https://swargadwar.com/, providing comprehensive services available at Swargadwar. This initiative, inaugurated on Diwali, enables people to efficiently register for cremation services in Odia, Hindi, and English.

The dedicated website allows individuals to upload all necessary information for the cremation of their loved ones. Financial assistance will be provided to Swargadwar Sanskar Sevaks, who assist visitors with cremation arrangements. The website, currently in a trial phase, will undergo modifications based on feedback. Additionally, a Swargadwar app is slated to be available on the Google Play Store soon, further enhancing accessibility to cremation services in Puri.
