Thousands of devotees are expected to visit the holy city to witness the Debasnana Purnima of the trinity. The Covid-19 pandemic had prompted the State Government to restrict devotees from participating in the festival in 2020 and 2021.
However, the SJTA has allowed devotees to take part in the festival.
Debasnana Purnima is a major festival in the run-up to the annual Rath Yatra. The festival will be celebrated on June 14 this year. On this occasion, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra would be given a ceremonial bath on the Snana Mandap.
