Odisha govt planning free Abhada scheme at Srimandir

New Indian Express  

BHUBANESWAR: In what could be a boon for the devotees visiting Shree Jagannath temple at Puri, the state government is planning to provide Abhada free of cost, particularly to those who are poor and cannot afford the cost of the Mahaprasad at the shrine. To provide free Abhada to devotees, funds to the extent Rs 14 crore to Rs 15 crore will be required. The previous BJD government too had made an announcement to provide Abhada free of cost and even deliver dry bhog to devotees residing outside Puri. Across the country, popular shrines like Meenakshi temple in Madurai, Tirumala temple in Tirupati, Shirdi Sai temple in Shirdi and Vaishno Devi temple in Katra serve free food to devotees everyday.
