Members of the Santhal community, to which DroupadiMurmu belongs, paid obeisance to deities Marangburu, Aera and Jaherayo in Mayurbhanj.
Earthen lamps were lit and yajnas organised at various places of worship across Odisha on Sunday as BJP workers and people from tribal communities prayed for the victory of NDA's presidential poll candidate Droupadi Murmu, a resident of the state's Mayurbhanj district.
Polling for the country's top constitutional post will be held on July 18.
Members of the Santhal community, to which Ms Murmu belongs, paid obeisance to deities Marangburu, Aera and Jaherayo in Mayurbhanj.
Supporters of the BJP, along with Sangh Parivar karyakartas, chanted mantras and invoked Lord Jagannath, seeking his blessing for the “daughter of Odisha”, who is pitted against joint opposition candidate and former Union minister Yashwant Sinha.
