- Title
Darubrahma: The Continuing Story of Wood, Trees, and Forests in the Ritual Fabric of Jagannath.
- Authors
Nugteren, Albertina
- Abstract
The article provides information concerning the continuing story of wood, trees, and forests in the ritual fabric of Jagannath, a Hindu deity, in India. In mid-2006, there was a new Bhaktivedanta Ashram temple opened in the village of Kuansh, Bhadrak district in Orissa. The author implies that although the new temple's policy is to welcome all devotees, the most amazing aspect of the venture was that he emphatically claimed that the new wooden statues of the four main deities of Lord Jagannatha, Baladeva, Subhadra, and Sudarshana were made strictly according to the Puri tradition and the scriptures.
