It is said that there are many rare gems in the inner treasury of Jagannath Mahaprabhu present in Puri Jagannath Dham. In ancient times, after conquering various states, precious gems, diamonds, jewelry, crowns, etc. were donated to Mahaprabhu, and they have been kept in the inner treasury. Mahaprabhu's inner treasury has not been opened since 1978. At the same time, after the opening of the inner Ratna Bhandar (Ratna Bhandar Jagannath Puri) of the Lord today i.e. on Thursday, many secrets of the treasures will gradually come to the fore.

 

It is believed that expensive idols of different metals are kept in the Ratna Bhandar. In such a situation, the eyes of the country and the world along with crores of Jagannath devotees are fixed on the opening of Mahaprabhu's Ratna Bhandar and the mystery of the treasure. The inner Ratna Bhandar of Puri Jagannath Temple will be opened again on Thursday.

 

The treasure will be shifted at the auspicious time.

The jewelry kept in it will be shifted along with the monitoring of the inner part of the Ratna Bhandar. The auspicious time to open the Ratna Bhandar is from 9:51 am to 12:15 pm on Thursday. During this time, the inner Ratna Bhandar will be opened. At this time, it will be taken care that the policy of Mahaprabhu is not disrupted. After all the work is completed, the ASI experts present there will inspect the Ratna Bhandar. After this, the lock will be sealed again.

 

Repair work of Ratna Bhandar will be done.

 

After sealing the lock, the key will be kept in the treasury. After transferring all the jewelry to the temporary Ratna Bhandar, the repair work of Ratna Bhandar will start. After the repair work is over, the counting work will start. Videography of each cupboard will be done.

 

It is worth mentioning that the outer Ratna Bhandar of Jagannath temple was opened last Sunday. The gems and ornaments kept in the outer Ratna Bhandar have been kept in a box and kept in the strong room built inside the temple. An attempt was also made to open the inner Ratna Bhandar that day. However, the lock could not be opened. After this, the Ratna Bhandar Committee entered the inner Ratna Bhandar by cutting the lock.

 

The committee returned after inspecting the inner Ratna Bhandar and the Ratna Bhandar was sealed by putting a new lock. Now today the inner Ratna Bhandar will be opened again and the jewellery and gems kept in it will be transferred. After this, the Ratna Bhandar will be repaired.
