Big lapse in the security of Jagannath temple: 40 stoves of Maharasoi Rosaghar were broken, 300 quintals of prasad is made here every day

40 chulhas of Maharasoi of Jagannathpuri temple in Odisha were found broken. The incident came to light on Sunday morning, when the kitchen was opened for making Sakal Dhoop Prasad. Police and temple administration are investigating the matter. After this incident, there will be some problem in getting Mahaprasad, but the stoves will be corrected within two days.

If the stove is broken then it is late to enjoy
The breakdown of 40 chulhas of Rosaghar did not affect much on the traditions of Lord Jagannath temple, but the ‘Gross Dhoop’ bhog on Sunday morning was delayed by half an hour. According to Puri Collector Samarth Verma, the investigation of the case is going on, strict action will be taken against the accused. Along with this, CCTV footage will also be examined to identify the culprits.

The Jagannath temple dates back to the 12th century.

Servants may have a hand in breaking the stove
According to the temple administration, only the sevadars could be involved in this incident, as only the suras (the cooks) get entry in the kitchen. Therefore, on Saturday night itself, someone must have broken the stove after the traditional dinner was made. The incident has raised questions about the security of the temple.

Temple opening for seven days from March 20
The 12th century temple was opened to the public on 21 February after being closed for almost 21 days during the third wave in January 2022. Earlier the temple was open from Monday to Saturday from 6 am to 9 pm, but from March 20, it has started opening on Sundays as well. At the same time, there is no need for vaccination certificate or RTPCR negative report for those who visit.
