Puri: The darshan of Lord Jagannath and His siblings at the Gundicha Temple in Puri will remain closed for five hours today due to the Banakalagi rituals of the deities.

Public will not be allowed to have darshan of the deities from 9:00 PM until 2:00 AM, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) said.

"On June 30, 2025 (Monday), corresponding to Ashadha Shukla Chaturthi with Panchami Tithi, the Banakalagi rituals of the deities will be performed. As a result, public darshan will be closed from 9:00 PM until 2:00 AM (late night), after completion of the second Bhoga Mandap Puja offering," the SJTA said in an official notice.

The deities were escorted last night to the Adapa Mandap of the Gundicha Temple from their respective chariots.
