Pranab offers prayers at Jagannath Temple
Puri, September 8, 2013: President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday paid obeisance at the famous Jagannath Temple here. “The temple was cleared of outsiders and inside the sanctum sanctorium minimal crowd was ensured to enable the President have a perfect darshan... He was happy with the arrangements,” officials said. During his last visit on April 25, the administration faced unpleasant moments when three priests insisted on performing the puja for the President claiming to be his family servitors.
