Pakistani Devotees Get Emotional After Having Glimpse of Shree Jagannath in Puri

Puri: Pakistani Hindus who got a chance to have a glimpse of Shree Jagannath in Puri became emotional after darshan.

Over 45 devotees, including women, children and elderly persons, from Karachi, visited the shrine. They went inside the temple to have the darshan of the deities. As a part of the protocol, their passports were examined before entry.

“The darshan gave us a divine feeling. The experience was indescribable. Lord Jagannath’s Rath Yatra is being held in Karachi every year since 2009. The year 2022 marked the 14th Rath Yatra in Karachi. After waiting for 14 long years, we finally had the darshan of the deities. We thank the governments of India and Pakistan for this opportunity,” one of the devotees said.

The devotees started their journey from Karachi on January 11 and visited various important shrines of India before reaching the pilgrim town of Puri.
