'This is a crime': Puri Jagannath temple chief servitor slams Mamata govt over Digha temple

IndiaTimes Sunday, 4 May 2025 ()
Chief servitor of Puri's Jagannath Temple and other religious figures are strongly criticizing the West Bengal government for naming the newly constructed Jagannath temple in Digha as "Jagannath Dham." They argue that this move distorts religious tradition, hurts sentiments, and is a politically motivated act by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, as only Puri can be designated as a 'Dham'.
