Puri Jagannath Temples Ratna Bhandar To Be Reopened Today, Check Details

The Odisha government on Sunday unlocked the 'Ratna Bhandar', the revered treasury of the 12th-century Jagannath temple in Puri, after 46 years for an inventory of the valuables and the repair of the structure. The treasury was last opened in 1985. It has not been inventoried since 1978, and at the time it took more than 70 days to complete the process.

The Bharatiya Janata Janata Janata Party-led state government has formed a committee, headed by a former Orissa HC judge, to supervise the inventory of valuables in the treasury. The Ratna Bhandar of the Jagannath temple was opened at 1.28 PM.

According to Justice Biswanath Rath, the chairman of the committee, the place where the valuables will be kept temporarily has been identified.
