Bhadrak: Valuable items worth lakhs belonging to the deity was gutted in a massive fire which broke out at Baba Akhandalamani temple at Aradi here last night.

While all the servitors had left the temple post completion of rituals at around 11 pm, the security personnel first tried to contain the flames and later called up Dhamnagar fire brigade office for help.

Till the fire tenders reached the temple and doused the flames by teaming up with the servitors, valuable assets of Lord Akhandalamani including utensils, clothes and grocery items had been lost to the fire.
