The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Tuesday decided to display the rate chart of Mahaprasad (Abadha) available at the Anand Bazar in the premises of the temple after the month of Kartik.
SJTA Chief Administrator Pradipta Mohapatra informed this after a review meeting on the Shreemandir reforms held on the day. Mohapatra said that before putting up the rate chart, an inspection would be held on the amounts spent for preparation of the Mahaprasad items.
After that, the formal procedure for the purpose would begin. He further informed that it has also been decided to replace old and corroded idols inside the temple. Accordingly, idols of Lakshmi, Narayan, Madan Mohan and Vamana would be replaced. An idol of goddess Lakshmi, constructed long back in 1972, is already in place for placement.
“The Pushpalaka and Singhari servitors had proposed to replace the old and degraded idols. A meeting in this regard will again be held on November 20,” Mohapatra added.
