Jagannath Temple has been constructed in Digha, Bengal. This grand temple has been built by the Bengal government. Recently, Mamata Banerjee has donated a gold broom of five lakh rupees to the temple. Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee offered prayers at the grand Jagannath temple built in Digha. Let's try to know what is special in the broom donated. This broom is made of gold. Jute and special types of fibers are engaged for cleaning under it. This cleans the idols of Lord Jagannath. In temples across the country, the main idols of the temples of God and the cleanliness of the surroundings are done with the help of special holy shrubs.
Let us tell you that the West Bengal government has built the Jagannath temple of Digha at a cost of 250 crores. The entire cost in the construction of the temple is at government expenditure. A trust has been prepared under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary of the state regarding its operation. Representatives of district administration, police, ISKCON, Sanatan Trust and local priests have been added to it. The temple is completely controlled by the West Bengal government. Representatives of ISKCON and other religious organizations have been added regarding its operation.
The gold broom of donations from Mamta Banerjee is used for special religious rituals in the temple. Such gold broom is used in the Jagannath temple of Puri. This is used in important festivals like chariot journey. Now such a tradition will start in the Digha temple of West Bengal. Gold broom will also be used here.
Many parts of the broom are made of pure gold. This broom has been prepared in Kolkata. This kind of donation shows that CM Mamta Banerjee herself is engaged in proving religious. She told many forums that she is a Hindu and worships. He described himself as a “daughter of a Brahmin”. She participates in festivals like Durga Puja, Kali Puja. She has been very active in these events.

Such a broom is also used in Ayodhya Ram Temple (Uttar Pradesh). A silver broom has also been prepared here. It is used in special religious rituals.
