Maa Samleshwari Temple to Remain Closed for Devotees from Dec 30,2021 till Jan 02,2022

Sambalpur: Entry of devotees restricted at Maa Samleshwari Temple from December 30, 2021, to January 2, 2022; a decision taken by the district administration because of the #COVID19 situation and Omicron scare.

As a result, devotees will be deprived of the darshan of Maa Samlei on the first day of the New Year (January 1, 2022). Every year, lakhs of devotees usually throng the sacred shrine to get a glimpse of Maa Samleshwari to seek blessings on New Year.

The decision has been taken by the district administration and the trust board members as the abode of the local presiding deity witnesses a huge rush during the New Year.
