According to Superintendent DB Garnayak of the Archaeological Survey of India, the Ratna Bhandar of Jagannath temple in Puri is set to be unlocked on July 8. This announcement was made on Wednesday, leaving many devotees excited and curious about what treasures may lie within.
Garnayak also shared that the opening of the Ratna Bhandar will be done in the presence of both the core committee and technical committee. This decision was made in order to ensure the utmost accuracy and safety during the process.
It was reported in 2018 that an inspection had revealed some concerning issues within the Ratna Bhandar. These included cracks, fallen stones, and missing iron rods, indicating a deteriorating condition. Further examination through laser scanning showed cracks in the outer wall and joints, which could potentially allow rainwater to seep in.
In February, the ASI had claimed to have completed the laser scanning of the Ratna Bhandar. However, no details were shared publicly about their findings. This only added to the intrigue and anticipation surrounding the upcoming opening of the sacred chamber.
With the highly anticipated date of July 8 approaching, devotees eagerly await the unveiling of the Ratna Bhandar and the treasures it may hold. It is hoped that this momentous event will bring forth new insights and discoveries about the rich history and culture of the Jagannath temple in Puri.
