Dear readers,
As we all know, the Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri is a sacred place of worship for devotees of Mahaprabhu. However, it has recently come to light that the inner chamber of the Ratna Bhandar, which houses precious ornaments used for special occasions, is in need of repair and maintenance. Noted sand artist and member of the Shree Jagannath Temple Managing Committee, Sudarsan Pattnaik, has expressed his concern and urged the Odisha Chief Minister, Mohan Charan Majhi, to take immediate action.
In a letter addressed to the CM, Pattnaik has requested him to direct the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to begin repair work as soon as possible, before the upcoming monsoon season causes further damage. He fears that the integrity of the entire temple structure may be at risk if the necessary repairs are not carried out in a timely manner.
It is disheartening to note that despite a previous inspection by ASI in 2018, no action has been taken in the past six years to address the structural problems and damages found in the inner Ratna Bhandar chamber. The technical committee of ASI had recommended immediate repair work back then, but it seems that their recommendations have been overlooked. In fact, a recent laser scanning done in February 2024 has also revealed cracks on the outside of the Ratna Bhandar.
Pattnaik, while speaking to the media, has expressed his hope that the state government will take strong action and ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out before it's too late. It is important to note that the inner chamber of the Ratna Bhandar was last opened 39 years ago, in 1985, and it is crucial that it is maintained properly to preserve the precious ornaments inside.
Let us all join hands and pray that the ASI begins the repair and maintenance work of the inner Ratna Bhandar chamber immediately, so that the sanctity and safety of the Shree Jagannath Temple is not compromised. We hope that the CM will take note of this urgent matter and take necessary action.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
