Puri: Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik laid the foundation stone for Shri Jagannath temple “Parikrama Prakalpa” (Heritage Corridor Project) in Puri on Wednesday, reported ANI.
“Today is a historic day for all Jagannath Bhakts all over the world and indeed a sacred day for the people of Odisha,” said CM Patnaik after laying foundation stone.
Jagannath Temple was re-opened for devotees after a gap of about four months in adherence to the Covid guidelines.
