Puri Temple Secures Trademark for Five Sacred Terms
The Shree Jagannath Temple in Puri, India, has been given special protection for five important words related to the temple.
These words are 'Jagannath Dham', 'Shree Kshetra', 'Mahaprasada', 'Nilachakra', and 'Koili Vaikuntha'.
This protection helps keep the temple's name and traditions safe from being used in the wrong way.
The temple is very old, built in the 12th century, and this is an important step to keep its heritage safe.
Earlier, the temple had already protected some other words and its logo.
This new protection is like a big achievement for the temple.
The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) secured trademark protection for five sacred terms associated with the Puri temple.
The terms protected are 'Jagannath Dham', 'Shree Kshetra', 'Mahaprasada', 'Nilachakra', and 'Koili Vaikuntha'.
This protection was achieved after the second round of examination by the Trade Marks Registry.
The temple had previously secured trademarks for 'Ananda Bajara', 'Patitapabana', and the Nilachakra logo.
The protection aims to safeguard the temple's identity and prevent unauthorized commercial exploitation.
