On the occasion of Shravan Somvar, rituals at the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar have been disrupted due to a dispute between Brahmin and Badu servitors over the distribution of traditional 'Shravan Tanka'. Daily rituals have been suspended since Sunday evening. While Badu servitors performed some rituals on Monday morning, the absence of Puja Panda servitors led to the stalling of regular puja. This has caused significant disappointment among hundreds of devotees and Bol Bam devotees (Kaudiyas) who had traveled from various places to offer holy water to Lord Shiva. https://odishasambad.in/rituals-disrupted-at-lingaraj-temple-on-first-monday-of-shravan/

The article discusses the pivotal role of women in the Indian agricultural sector and the systemic challenges they face. Despite making up nearly 33% of farmers and contributing significantly to all stages of farming, women own only 13-14% of the land. This lack of ownership prevents them from receiving official recognition as farmers and accessing government benefits or loans. Through examples of successful female farmers in Maharashtra and an innovative Indian-American student in the US, the text highlights their potential to lead an agricultural revolution and calls for a special national policy to support women in farming. https://sambad.in/special/women-will-be-the-catalyst-for-the-agricultural-revolution-12222192
