Authorities have launched a long-awaited inventory of treasures held in the inner sanctum of the Shree Jagannath Temple (a revered 12th-century Hindu shrine in Puri, on India's eastern coast), following an order from the Orissa High Court. A state government-appointed team comprising goldsmiths, Reserve Bank of India representatives, and temple priests catalogued 20 categories of ornaments on the first day, with each item being weighed and recorded using 3D mapping. The exercise, the first of its kind since 1978, is expected to bring greater transparency to the management of one of Hinduism's wealthiest and most sacred sites.
