As per the discussion during the meeting, the devotees will enter through 'Sata Pahacha' and exit through the 'Ghanti Dwara', Padhee added.

"We have already received the prototypes. After the completion of the tender process, the work will begin. Input will be taken from the servitors so that the rituals of the holy Trinity are not affected due to the work," Puri Collector Siddharth Shankar Swain said.
