A large chunk of plaster fell from the roof of Puri Srimandir’s ‘garbha gruha’ on Tuesday. The issue has been raising concerns about the safety of the Lord Jagannath temple.
According to the reports, the piece of wall plaster weighing around 1.5 kg was reportedly found near Lord Bhalabhadra yesterday following which it was deposited in the warehouse of the Puri temple. Though the incident has grabbed headlines, the Srimandir administration is yet to comment on the same. Fortunately, no one has been hurt in the falling of the plaster.
During the Rath Yatra, last month, a team of the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) visited the Lord Jagannath temple for the scheduled inspection and maintenance as the Holy Trinity was on annual sojourn. The ASI technical team led by Arun Menon then reportedly studied the cracks and fractures on the walls and the sanctum sanctorum of the Srimandir.
