Jagannath Temple | Odisha To Patent Words Linked To Jagannath Temple Amid Row With Bengal
The Odisha Government has announced to secure trademark rights for various words and phrases that are associated with the Jagannath Temple in Puri amid an ongoing dispute over a newly inaugurated temple in West Bengal. The West Bengal government's reference to the temple in Digha as "Jagannath Dham," a term historically and scripturally reserved for the 12th-century temple in Puri, has met with strong objections from religious scholars, priests, and politicians in Odisha.
