Odissa: Lord Jagannath ‘Suna Besha' ritual in Puri; Security arrangements tightened

‘Suna Besha’ ritual of Lord Jagannath in Puri

Puri: Elaborate security arrangements are made in the seaside town of Puri where around 15 lakh people are expected to congregate on Wednesday evening to witness the sibling deities Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Lord Jagannath in 'Suna Besha' or gold attire, officials said.

Around 5,700 police personnel have been deployed in the town, they said.

The three chariots were parked in front of the 'Singhadwar' of the 12th-century shrine where the idols of the deities, decorated with about 208 kg of gold jewellery, would be kept. (with Agency inputs)
