The luxury buses will operate from Puri, Sambalpur, Bhawanipatna and Berhampur. The buses will go to Ayodhya via Varanasi and Prayagraj.

More than 200 people from Odisha have embarked on a journey to Maha Kumbh Mela on the first day. Women will get 50 per cent discount on the bus fare, Majhi said.

Passengers can book tickets in advance through the OSRTC website (osrtc.org) or mobile app or by visiting the nearest OSRTC ticket counter.
