Devotees of Lord Jagannath felt outraged when Mahaprasad (offering to the lord) was found in a garbage bin here on Wednesday during the holy month of Kartik.
Earthen pots containing the lord’s Mahaprasad were consigned into the dustbins installed by the Puri Municipality at the railway camp set up for Habisyalis.
Notably, the district administration provides accommodation facility for Habisyalis visiting the Jagannath Temple for a month-long ‘Habisa’ starting from the first day of Kartik. Under the Habisyali programme, three camps have been set up for the devotees at different locations where they are offered Mahaprasad free of cost.
