The Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri is witnessing a huge footfall of devotees flocking the temple to seek the blessing of the Holy Trinity on the very first day of the year. A massive gathering is expected at the 12th-century shrine on New Year's. The New Year's congregation at the temple is being allowed after a gap of two years.
Devotees make a beeline to the temple on December 31 and January 1 every year to seek blessings of the holy trinity in the New Year. Lakhs of devotees are thronging the holy city to have darshan of the presiding deities of the temple.
Meanwhile, the Puri administration has chalked out a comprehensive plan for crowd management. More than 20 platoons of police personnel have been deployed in and around the Srimandir to maintain law and order in the area. Hundreds of lifeguards have also been stationed at designated bathing points along the beach to prevent incidents of drowning.
Every year Puri witnesses a huge inflow of devotes on the New year.
