Puri Jagannath Temple to Offer Free Mahaprasad to Devotees
If everything goes as planned, Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) in Puri will soon offer Mahaprasad for free to devotees. Srimandir Managing Committee approves Rs 169.50 crore budget for 2018-19; Rs 10 crore allocated for servitors welfare, Rs 1.5 crore for free prasad distribution, Rs 20 lakh outlay for darshan facilities for Divyang.
People entering the ‘Ratna Bhandar’, the treasury of Lord Jagannath at the famous temple in Puri in Odisha, for inspection, would have to do it wearing only “gamcha”, the traditional cotton towel, a temple official said today.
