He reviewed the final phase of renovation works of Ratna Bhandar on Thursday along with Srimandir technical committee members and officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). He said this repair work was necessary and the structural condition of both Bahara Bhandar and Bhitara Ratna Bhandar was extremely poor. "Ratna Bhandar now appears safe and has been beautifully done. The renovation has been done in alignment with the shrine's Kalinga architectural style," he said.
