Puri: October 01: ‘Dhadi Darshan’ system begins in Srimandir from today. Devotees were seen standing in queue outside as well as inside the Temple to have darshan of Trinity.
However, there is a strong opposition from the Shree Jagannath Sena and devotees. The protesters uprooted the barricades put up at the Temple and shouted slogans opposing the queue system.
A scuffle ensued between the policemen deployed at the Singhadwara and devotees while the latter tried not to obey the queue system.
As per the new system called (Dhadi Darshan), devotees will enter the temple premises through the Singha Dwara (Lion’s Gate) by forming a queue and move inside through barricades. Men and women have separate barricades for smooth and hassle-free movement. After having darshan of the deities, devotees will exit through the Uttar Dwara (North Gate).
The temple administration has planned to implement the new system on an experimental basis once every week till the month of Kartik, sources said.
