Jagannath Temple treasury inventory may not include jewellery valuation

The Jagannath Temple’s Ratna Bhandar inventory will prioritize naming, weighing, and counting centuries-old jewellery, eschewing valuation due to complexity. Officials cite the immense religious and historical significance of the ornaments, making monetary assessment challenging. A digital catalogue will be created, cross-verified with the 1978 inventory, which recorded substantial gold and silver items.
