A group of 133 Hindu pilgrims from Pakistan on Saturday visited the Shree Jagannath Temple on January 4.

“It was a long-cherished desire to have darshan of Lord Jagannath. We got the visa with much difficulty. We thank the Indian government for facilitating our visit,” said a devotee from Pakistan.Another woman visitor said, “I prayed before the Lord that the relation between India and Pakistan gets normalised so that we get visa easily to visit Puri and offer prayers to the deities.”
