Odisha Launches 'Jagannath Dham' App Amid Temple Name Dispute
The Odisha government created a new app called 'Shree Jagannatha Dham' for people visiting the Jagannath Temple.
This app gives information about what's happening at the temple, like when special events are, how long you might wait in line, and more.
The name of the app is important because it connects to a discussion about where the real 'Jagannath Dham' is.
The app will help tourists find their way around Puri and learn about the temple's activities, and will soon include a way to report any issues.
