Tanka Torani To Be Available At Anand Bazaar In Puri Temple Again

Puri: Tanka Torani will be available at Anand Bazaar (market place of Mahaprasad) in Jagannath Temple in Puri soon.

Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) took this decision on Monday in the executive committee meeting.

Notably, the temple administration had imposed restriction on its sale at Anand Bazaar of the shrine in 2017.

Tanka Torani is a mixture of curd, water rice, lemon leaves and green chilly.

The temple administration has decided to give Tanka Torani to the devotees with good quality. The selling spot of Tanka Torani inside Anand Bazaar will be decided after a discussion with the Suara and Mahasuar, said the sources.

The temple administration will also issue identity cards to Suara Sevakas, informed Temple Executive Committee member Aanata Tiadi.

Notably, devotees love Tanka Torani, which was sold at Anand Bazaar for last several years. Following degraded quality and rush on Anand Bazaar premises, the then Chief Temple Administrator Pradip Kumar Jena had banned it.

Considering the demands of Suaras and feelings of devotees towards Tanka Torani, it was decided to sell it again, the sources added.
