Bhubaneswar:6th Nov 2025: The counting of Rath Vandana will be conducted after Panchuka. Today, the Law Minister, Pruthviraj Harichandan, has announced this process. The minister stated that priority is now being given to how devotees can have a structured darshan at the Shri Mandir during Panchuka.
For devotees, arrangements have been made for entry through the Lion Gate and exit through three other gates. According to the information, Panchuka begins on Sunday, November 2. Devotees observing the Panchuka vrat will follow the scheduled arrangements.
The Shri Mandir administration and the district administration have made extensive preparations. On the night of Kartika’s Swatantra Balabhog, starting at 4 a.m., darshan will be conducted according to the prescribed rules, with proper gates and security measures in place.
During Panchuka, to manage the crowd, devotees will have darshan from outside the inner sanctum rather than inside, ensuring their safety. Independent security arrangements have been implemented. A three-stage barricade system has been established from Market Chowk to Marichikot, from Marichikot to Srinar, and from Srinar to Singh Dwara, to manage and control the flow of devotees during darshan.
