Rattled by the pictures of the interiors of the Shree Jagannath Temple here being posted frequently on the social media platforms, the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) on Sunday decided to sensitise the devotees and all other stakeholders about the ban imposed on such photography by putting up hoardings near the temple and on the route to the holy city.
Hoardings would be displayed around the Shreemandir to create awareness about the ‘photography ban’ in the temple premises, said SJTA Chief Administrator Pradeep Jena.
Talking to mediapersons, Jena stated, “Electronic display board will also be put on the Puri-Bhubaneswar highway to create the awareness.”
It might be mentioned that despite security personnel manning the four entrances to the temple and installation of metal detectors, smart phones are being smuggled into the temple premises and pictures are being taken notwithstanding the ban on any kind of photography in the temple premises.
On Saturday, a couple from Uttar Pradesh and their son were detained by police after the son was found clicking pictures of the interiors of the shrine.
