Against the backdrop of the alarming spike in Covid-19 cases in Odisha, the Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Friday announced to close the doors of Srimandir for the public from January 10 to 31. Moreover, as per the current restrictions, the temple remains closed for public darshan every Sunday and it will continue.
