Incident at the Jagannath Temple
Puri: Authorities have detained a man from Ranchi, Jharkhand, for attempting to scale the Shree Jagannath Temple on Saturday, according to police reports.
The individual, named Pancham Mahot, managed to ascend approximately 5 to 7 feet on the southern side of the historic 12th-century temple before being apprehended by the Shree Jagannath Temple Police (JTP).
