To prevent the spread of Corona further during the festival season, Ganjam District Administration has closed all religious institutions from April 14 till April 21. Only Priests/Sevayats will be allowed to conduct daily rituals.
Meru Jatra and Pana Sankranti won’t be celebrated publicly in view of rising Covid cases.
