Viral Video Inside Jagannath Temple Sparks Security Row
Puri: A viral video recorded inside the inner premises of Shree Jagannath Temple has sparked outrage and raised serious security concerns.
The footage, widely circulated on Instagram, shows rituals such as the changing of the flag atop the Nilachakra and Patitapaban.
Despite strict prohibitions on mobile phones within the temple, repeated breaches have surfaced in recent months.
Similar reels from the Singhadwara and even drone footage over the temple have appeared online, highlighting lapses in enforcement.
The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has issued multiple warnings and directives, yet violations continue unabated.
The incident underscores the urgent need for stronger monitoring mechanisms to safeguard the sanctity and security of one of India’s most revered shrines.
