Puri: Darshan of the Holy Trinity at the Puri Srimandir will be suspended for four hours from 7.00 pm to 11.00 pm on Monday in view of special rituals related to Krishna Janmashtami.
The servitors of the 12th century shrine will perform secret rituals related to the birth of Lord Krishna late in the evening today. Today, the temple’s Mahajans will lead the Janmashtami celebrations, inspired by the divine stories of Devika and Vasudeva.
In the evening, a symbolic portrayal of birth will be enacted at the eastern gate of the Puri Jagannath temple in the presence of Pujapanda servants. A golden idol of Lord Krishna will grace the southern chamber of the temple on this occasion.
