The Suara Mahasuara Nijog (association of standard temple cooks) has actually raised the crucial problem officially, sending a memorandum to Gajapati Maharaja of Puri, Dibyasingha Deb, and revealing major issue over the continuous circumstance.
According to the Nijog, the Odisha federal government provides fire wood for the temple, however almost 75 percent of it is being diverted to Swargadwar for cremation functions.
With Holy Kartik month approaching– a spiritually considerable duration that draws countless Habishyalis (fans who carry out spiritual routines)– the need for fire wood will increase dramatically. Without appropriate fire wood, preparing the massive day-to-day offerings might end up being almost difficult.
Furthermore, the temple administration has just recently limited Supakara servitors from utilizing any remaining bhog for sale functions, mentioning brand-new standards. As an outcome, the standard cooks are supposedly dealing with serious monetary losses.
The Nijog has actually required settlement for the losses and has actually cautioned that if fire wood is not provided in adequate amount quickly, they might be required to stop Mahaprasad preparation throughout the Kartik month, a relocation that might affect countless fans.
In spite of the severity of the problem, the temple administration is yet to provide a public action.
