Several cracks have been discovered on the walls of Odisha's historic Puri Jagannath Temple, causing concern among devotees. The cracks stretch from the Anand Bazaar inside the temple to the Meghnad Pacheri. Moss growth on the walls indicates water seepage, raising fears of further structural damage. The Odisha government has contacted the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to begin immediate repairs. Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan stated that they are investigating how the cracks formed, with concerns over unauthorized activities possibly contributing. Devotees are worried about the temple's future, but priests dismiss claims linking the damage to any 'divine punishment.'
