More than 50,000 people gathered on March 5 at a Marian pilgrimage centre in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, when it celebrated its feast after a gap of two years.

The Divine Word prelate remembered Komoladevi, a local Hindu widow whose vision of the Blessed Virgin led to the setting up of the pilgrimage centre in 1994 in the village, some 250 km southwest of Bhubaneswar, the state capital. She died of COVID-19 in 2020. People gathering in such huge number is the sign of growing faith in God and accepting Mother Mary, the priest told Matters India.

The shrine was built after Komoladevi went to Partamaha Mountain to collect fire wood on March 5, 1994. She saw a bearded man in white dress and long hair coming closer to her. He disappeared after sometime.
