On Wednesday, President Droupadi Murmu made a notable visit to the revered 12th century Lord Jagannath Temple, where she undertook a spiritual walk covering nearly one kilometre down the Grand Road.

During her visit, the President, embodying the role of a common devotee, was warmly greeted by hundreds who lined the roadsides. For the duration of her temple visit, access for the general public was temporarily restricted, ensuring a seamless darshan for India's first citizen.
