The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) completed its technical survey of the Ratna Bhandar at Puri's Jagannath temple on Sunday.
Initially planned for three days, the second round of the survey concluded in just two, according to Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) chief administrator Arabinda Padhee. The survey's aim was to detect any hidden chambers or tunnels.
Devotees, barred during the survey period, can now enter the temple without restrictions. The SJTA noted that the findings will be known once the ASI submits its report, which will inform the future inventory and conservation actions.
