Puri: Despite all restrictions on photography, a woman tourist from Bengaluru has clicked photos inside the premises of Sri Jagannath temple here and later made those viral on social media.
The incident came to light after a photo taken near the barricade through which the devotees enter the Nata Mandap of the sanctum sanctorum surfaced on the Facebook account of one Megha Luthra yesterday.
Megha, who works in IndiGo Airlines and lives in Bengaluru posted the photos with a caption, ‘Ek Dham Yatra’.
The photograph sparked a sharp reaction among the devotees who criticised the porous arrangement at the temple and demanded an inquiry into the incident.
The Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) officials are yet to give a reply on the violation of the rule by a woman tourist so easily.
Notably, the ‘no photography’ rule inside the Sri Mandir had been violated on a number of occasions in the past. For the last time a Sub-Inspector of Seabeach police station in Puri had made some photos inside the temple premise viral on his social media account on October 9 this year.
