Apart from this, a devotee can book for special pooja/occasions, Sarai bookings, online prasad, make online donations, and purchase religious idols and books through the website. The district administration has collaborated with India Post to ensure the seamless delivery of such items to devotees at their doorsteps, said the chief minister.
