Puri is the sacred and eternal seat of Lord Shri Jagannath. According to scriptural beliefs, Shri Jagannath Dham is one of the prominent holy sites among the four dhams of India," SJTA May 4, SJTA issued a showcause notice to Dasmohapatra to clarify within seven days his controversial statement about facilitating creation of idols for the Digha temple using surplus neem wood from the Nabakalebara ritual of the Puri shrine.
