Bhubaneswar: Restrictions forced by Pandemic Covid-19 cannot blunt the spirit of Rath Yatra with the gods led from the Jagannath Temple in Puri who will start nine days to their birthplace, on Monday, puencing, on Monday, the beginning of the festival Largest country.
While the 12th centuries of the 12th century centuries remained unaffected by a pandemic, buzzing worshipers at the Grand Road or Bada Danda, lost because of their participation prohibitions in RATH.
Grand Road three km from Jagannath Temple to Gundicha Temple used to be full of worshipers who erupted in excitement during RATH before Covid-19 changed everything.
While Puri is beyond the limit for tourists with the imposition of hours of night from 8pm, on Sunday, the locals are lucky enough to be able to offer their prayers outside the temple and touch the train the day before Rath Yatra.
The curfew will remain valid until 8pm on Tuesday.
Hotels on both sides of the Grand Road have been emptied.
“We can’t get out of our home on Monday.
To feel Rath Yatra, we go near the empty train day before the big day and pay our respect.
We will miss the view of the gods on the train for the second year in a row,” Subasini Tripathy said , said a resident of Puri.
The Singha Dwar (Lion Gate) in front of the Jagannath Temple was soaked in religious spirit when the waiters pulled three big trains from Ratha Khala (where the train was made) to the main gate of the temple in the beating of a cymbal and blowing snails.
Administrator Head of Temple Shree Jagannath visited Govardhan Math and invited Puri Shankaracharya, Swami Nischalandada Saraswati, to give a prayer to the gods on Monday on Monday.
“We have been convinced with timely behavior of all RATUAL regarding Rath in the temple and on the train by the servants,” Krishhan Kumar said.
Samarth District collector Verma appealed to the locals to work with government arrangements and live in their homes.
“We have issued a toll-free helpline number in public interest in the event of an emergency.
The number lasts 18003457495,” Verma said.
