Plans afoot to make Puri Jagannath temple's 'Mahaprasad' free for devotees

The Odisha government plans to distribute free 'Mahaprasad' at Puri's Jagannath temple, incurring an additional cost of Rs 14-15 crore annually. Financial support is being sought from affluent devotees. The initiative, aimed at enhancing the temple experience for visitors, will likely start after the holy Odia 'Kartik' month.
