Bengal’s Jagannath Temple plan sparks controversy; Puspalaka Nijog issues stern warning

Bhubaneswar, April 26: The West Bengal government’s decision to construct a Jagannath Temple in Digha, modeled as an "exact replica" of the iconic Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri, has triggered a major controversy. The Puspalaka Nijog, the traditional servitors' body of the Puri temple, has strongly condemned the move, calling it a grave insult to the unique traditions and sanctity of the original shrine.

West Bengal officials announced that the Digha temple would mirror not just the architectural style but also the rituals of the Puri temple, promoting it with slogans like “No need to go to Puri to see Jagannath Dham and the sea.” These statements have drawn sharp criticism for allegedly diminishing the spiritual and cultural significance of Puri's ancient temple, revered by millions.

In a firm response, the Puspalaka Nijog has banned its members, their families, and associates from participating in any rituals at the Digha temple, including aarti, deity dressing, and morning services. Violators will face expulsion from the association, the Nijog warned, emphasizing that involvement would be considered a betrayal of Puri’s sacred traditions.
