Odisha devotees demand removal of ‘Jagannath Dham’ label from Digha temple

The West Bengal government’s naming of the new Digha temple as “Jagannath Dham” has drawn criticism from Odisha’s Jagannath devotees, who fear it undermines the sanctity of the Puri shrine. Religious figures, including Sudarsan Pattnaik, are demanding clarification and urging intervention, citing potential confusion and offense to long-standing traditions.
