In Bhubaneswar's Lingaraj Temple, broken representative idols (Chalanti Pratima) are being used for rituals and festivals for the past 12 years, violating the scriptural rule of 'Nagna Bhagna Na Pujyate'. Although the Temple Trust Board considered replacing or repairing the nine ancient ashtadhatu idols, the process is stalled. Artisans refuse to repair 'living' idols, and the administration has failed to install new ones despite recommendations from Puri Mukti Mandap. Priests have expressed deep concern over this ongoing negligence. https://sambad.in/metro/nude-broken-not-worshipped-12023844 #creator program
