Jagannath Puri Temple: Not only in Odisha but in almost every part of India, this story has been heard that the gems kept in Puri's Jagannath temple are protected by huge snakes. Now when the doors of Ratna Bhandar opened again on Sunday after more than 4 decades, these big secrets were revealed. According to the information received, no person who entered inside saw snakes. However, the administration had already made full preparations for this.
The government had set up a snake helpline of 11 members
Puri Collector Siddharth Shankar said that we did not find any snake, insect or reptile. The special thing is that the government had already prepared an 11-member snake helpline due to suspected snakes. Apart from this, three members of the unit were standing outside the Ratna Bhandar to prevent any untoward incident. Along with this, Puri District Headquarters Hospital was asked to keep a stock of antivenom ready.
Snake Helpline general secretary Shubhendu Malik said, “We were fully prepared with the equipment by the time Ratna Bhandar opened. However, no snake was found so our services were not required.” Retired judge Vishwanath Rath, chairman of the 16-member committee formed by the government, said that the fear of unemployment was raised even before the opening of Ratna Bhandar.
After opening the gem we are safe
He said that rumours were spread that those who open gemstone shops will face health problems. We are safe after opening all the gemstones.' At present, tight security has been put in place outside the entire temple. The government has also deployed state and central forces for tight security around the temple. At least 85 Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel have provided security outside the temple. While 5 platoons of state police are inside the temple.
The process of opening the Ratna Bhandar was started at around 10:00 am. Lord Loknath is considered the protector of gems and this process started after the Ajna Mala was placed in the Loknath temple.
