According to temple authorities, an auspicious time window between 12:09 PM and 1:45 PM has been identified for the entry of the inspection and inventory team. The team is scheduled to enter the Ratna Bhandar during this period, following traditional rituals and strict security protocols. The Ratna Bhandar is believed to house invaluable ornaments and precious items offered to Lord Jagannath over centuries by devotees, kings, and dignitaries. However, due to limited access and historical restrictions, a complete and updated inventory has not been conducted for a long time, making this exercise highly significant. Authorities have emphasized that the process will be carried out with utmost transparency, security, and adherence to religious customs. Experts, officials, and designated members are part of the inventory team to ensure accurate documentation and preservation of the temple’s heritage assets. This initiative is also seen as a major step toward strengthening temple security and ensuring proper management of its priceless treasures. Devotees and citizens across Odisha are closely watching the developments, as the Ratna Bhandar holds immense spiritual, cultural, and historical importance. The inventory process is expected to continue in phases, with updates likely to be shared by authorities as the work progresses.
