Jagannath Temple Gates Reopen After 5 Years, CM Majhi Attends Ceremony
In a significant move, the newly elected BJP government in Odisha has reopened all four gates of the Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri after a five-year closure. The decision was approved on Wednesday, and a special fund of ₹500 crore has been announced for the temple's upkeep and related issues.
The reopening ceremony was graced by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, marking a momentous occasion for devotees and the local community. The temple, a revered pilgrimage site, has seen its gates closed for half a decade, causing much anticipation and joy among worshippers with this reopening.
