Keonjhar, July 11: The doors of Ghatagaon Tarini Temple will remain shut for devotees on Thursday in observance of the annual festival ‘Asadhi Parva’.
According to the temple trust board, the temple will be closed to devotees from 6 am to 7 pm. Asadhi Parva is the day when Goddess Tarini observes a fast for the welfare of her devotees. Consequently, the temple remains shut throughout the day and opens only in the evening for the “Sunabesha” ceremony.
Earlier last month, Chief Minister Mohan Majhi announced a financial package of Rs 50 crore for the development of Maa Tarini Temple at Ghatagaon.
