Bhubaneswar: A family in Mahanga area of Odisha’s Cuttack district has started worshiping a Paratha (Chapatti) after a portion of it resembled the image of Lord Jagannath during baking today.

Roni, the daughter of Hemant Bagh, of Benupur in Mahanga was baking Parathas in their kitchen today. To the astonishment of Roni, the middle portion of a Paratha resembled an image of Lord Jagannath during baking, sources said.

Soon the family invited a priest and worshipped the Paratha by placing it in a brass utensil. The family members have planned to keep the Paratha inside a water-proof case and worship it in their house.

Many people thronged Bagh’s house soon after they came to know about the miraculous incident.

“We were celebrating Rakshya Bandhan today. The image of Lord Jagannath was seen in a Paratha in our kitchen. We believe it to be an auspicious happening. We will worship the Paratha in our house,” said Bagh.
