  • For the first time in the history of the 12th century Lord Vishnu shrine, the devotees were denied the opportunity of darshan, officials said.

    "It was a matter of luck for any human being to have darshan of the deities in Jagannath Dham. We are blessed to get the opportunity in the first phase," said an elderly woman after visiting the temple.
