Bhubaneswar, Mar 27: After day-long fight between two priest groups at the Lingaraj temple here over the issue of Maha Baruni Snana rituals, the rituals finally resumed later on Sunday. Following a meeting held under the Bhubaneswar ADM Manoj Kumar Mohanty who is the chief of the temple’s trust board, the rift ended. All the sects of priests including Brahman Nijog, Badu Nijog and Pujapanda Nijog unanimously accepted the decision taken during the meeting. During the course of meeting the ADM warned the servitors urging them to cooperate so that in future any kind of disturbances aimed to halt the rituals of the Lord can be prevented. He also said that any servitor trying to apprise the temple trust board about their grievance wil have to notify the board in written before eight days. The temple authorities will then immediately try to solve the concerns of the complaining servitors.
