Odisha Rejects Online Sale of Puri Temple's 'Mahaprasad'

Odisha Rejects Online Sale of Puri Temple's 'Mahaprasad'

The Odisha government said 'no' to selling the special food from the Puri Jagannath temple online.

Some groups wanted to sell 'Mahaprasad' (the food) online and deliver it to people.

But, the government said it could not do it because they want to keep the food holy and special.

They worried that delivering the food might make it lose its special feeling.

The government doesn't want anyone selling the food online, and the Law Minister is asking everyone to come to the temple to get it.

Soon, the price of the food will be updated.
