Miscreants damaged nearly 40 ‘chullahs’ (earthen hearths) in the ‘Rosha Sala’ — the holy kitchen of 12th century Shree Jagannath Temple, Puri.
The kitchen — an important structure of the temple which is regarded as the biggest of any shrine in the country — is prohibited for outsiders. However, someone had caused partial damage to these earthen hearths on Saturday night.
