The 2 servitors' groups fought over offering 'Ghruta Kamala' to the deity
FOR close to 24 hours since Monday night, Lord Lingaraj has been seated on the Makara Mandap outside the sanctum sanctorum of Lingaraj temple following a scuffle between two groups of servitors over Makar Sankranti rituals. Owing to disruption of all rituals in the temple, the deity has also not been offered 'bhoga' since.
Special rituals of Lord Lingaraj are observed for two days during Makar Sankranti. On the eve of the Sankranti, the 'Shree Mukha' of Lord Lingaraj is brought outside the sanctum sanctorum and seated atop the Makara Mandap near Bhubaneswar temple within the premises.
