The Jagannath Temple in Puri will conduct a phased inventory of its Ratna Bhandar (treasure trove) valuables, aiming for completion before next year's Rath Yatra. A high-level committee has prepared a draft Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the process, which will involve tallying items with a 1978 list. The inventory will prioritize not disrupting daily rituals or devotee darshan, and will include RBI and SBI goldsmiths, with videography for reference.
