Puri: Shree Jagannath Temple Chief Administrator Dr Arabinda Padhee on Sunday reviewed the ongoing infrastructure development works around Narendra Pushkarini, aimed at improving facilities for devotees visiting the sacred water body.
Narendra Pushkarini holds religious significance as devotees take holy dips during Lord Jagannath’s Bahar Chandan Yatra and perform Dashaha and other religious rituals there.
While extensive toilet facilities have already been developed in front of the tank, Padhee inspected the construction of a reception centre, an information centre and a dedicated facility for devotees to partake of Mahaprasad.
He said the first floor of the new building would host bhajan programmes during Chandan Yatra. The construction is being expedited to ensure that devotees gathered at the premises can comfortably watch the programmes.
Padhee also said the building was being constructed in the traditional Kalinga architectural style.
