The reopening of the Ratna Bhandar at the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri is being carefully monitored by a high-level committee. Their latest announcement states that the inner chamber will be accessible to authorized personnel on Sunday between 1 PM and 1:30 PM. The committee's chairman, Justice Biswanath Rath, shared that a specific group of individuals will be allowed to enter the chamber, including members of the managing and high-level committees, an Archaeological Survey of India representative, the Puri district Collector, and designated servitors such as Bhandar Mekap and Tadau Karan. Additionally, a medical team and a snake helpline will be on standby outside the chamber, ready to assist if needed.
Justice Rath emphasized the significance of this event, stating, "We have humbly surrendered before the Lord and asked for strength to carry out this task." The process of entering the temple will begin after the high-level committee's meeting at 1 PM. The Chief Administrator of Shree Jagannath Temple Administration, Arabinda Padhee, shared that temporary entry restrictions will be enforced during the committee's access to the Ratna Bhandar. Only the Singhadwara gate will remain open, while all other gates will be closed. A predetermined list will determine who is allowed entry, and all committee members will undergo security checks. The entire procedure will also be recorded on video, following the standard operating procedure.
Committee member and renowned sand artist, Sudarsan Pattnaik, expressed his focus on addressing necessary repairs during this process. The Odisha government has issued a standard operating procedure to the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration and the temple management committee to ensure transparency during the inventory process. A team led by Chief Administrator Arabinda Padhee will oversee the operation, with members from the Reserve Bank of India, ASI, designated servitors, and representatives from both the managing and high-level committees.
In conclusion, the reopening of the Ratna Bhandar is a significant event that is being carefully planned and executed by a dedicated team. The committee's priority is to ensure transparency and the safety of all involved, as they carry out this important task.
