A massive fire broke out in the storeroom of the Baba Akhandalamani Temple at Aradi in the district late on Thursday night, destroying properties worth lakhs.
Though no casualty was reported in the mishap, several temple articles and jewelleries of the deity were reduced to ashes.
Reports said the servitors closed the temple after completing all the rituals by 11 pm. At around 1 am, two security personnel spotted smoke emanating from the store room.
They immediately informed the temple management about the mishap. Getting information, a team of the Fire Service from Dhamnagar reached the spot and doused the flames with the help of servitors. Though the fire did not spread to other parts of the temple, property worth lakhs of rupees stacked inside the store room were gutted in the fire.
