From there, she will travel about 80 km by road through the Eastern Ghats to the centuries-old tribal shrine, one of southern Odisha&#8217;s most significant centres of indigenous faith. The rail journey is expected to take around two hours and ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Security arrangements have been tightened to an exceptional level. The President&#8217;s special train will be shadowed by an escort train, while all other train movements on the route will remain suspended during its passage to ensure complete operational safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Railway Protection Force and Government Railway Police have deployed an elaborate security grid under the supervision of the Railway Superintendent of Police. Three Deputy Superintendents of Police, along with specially selected security personnel, will monitor the entire corridor from Bhubaneswar to Berhampur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>East Coast Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Deepak Raut said the special train would operate under established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for presidential movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The special train will run from Bhubaneswar to Berhampur under the prescribed security protocol. The journey is expected to take a little over two hours,&#8221; Raut said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Railway Superintendent of Police Vivekananda Sharma said a high-security alert would come into force two hours before the President&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Since part of the railway line passes through elephant corridors, we have coordinated with the Forest Department to monitor wildlife movement so that there is no disruption to the President&#8217;s journey,&#8221; Sharma said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that a dedicated entrance has been created for the President at the station, while separate access points will remain available for the general public to minimise inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President&#8217;s destination, the Maa Kandhuni Devi Temple near the famous Taptapani hot sulphur springs, occupies a special place in the religious and cultural traditions of southern Odisha. Revered by tribal communities for generations, the shrine is dedicated to Maa Kandhuni Devi, believed to be the guardian deity who blesses devotees with peace, prosperity, good health and protection from adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pilgrims visiting the temple traditionally offer flowers, coconuts and incense, while annual festivals transform the shrine into a vibrant celebration of tribal culture, featuring folk music, traditional dances and age-old rituals passed down through generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally significant are the nearby natural hot sulphur springs of Taptapani. Devotees customarily begin their pilgrimage with a ritual bath in the mineral-rich waters, which are believed to possess therapeutic properties and spiritually purify worshippers before they offer prayers at the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Murmu&#8217;s visit has generated considerable excitement across the region, with local residents and tourism stakeholders hoping it will draw national attention to the area&#8217;s rich tribal heritage, religious traditions and ecotourism potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special train, extraordinary security cover and
