💨 Abstract

Thousands participated in a holy dip at Chandrabhaga beach, Konark, on Magha Saptami, the birthday of the Sun God. Devotees offer prayers to 'Tri Mahadev' and perform puja at 'Naba Graha'. The district administration made arrangements for the festival, with police deployed for safety and traffic management. Devotees believe the dip cures skin diseases and washes away sins.
