Officially, the doors of the inner chambers of the Ratna Bhandar have not been opened since 1985, when an inventory was made. It is not yet known when the keys went missing as the matter came to light only on 4 April, when an inspection team was examining the state of the 12th-century shrine's structure.

Besides the king of Puri, known as Gajapati Maharaj, the Shankaracharya of Puri and the Bhandar mekap (official) are the only two others who are supposed to have the keys to the Ratna Bhandar.

A senior servitor of the temple, Rama Krushna Das Mohapatra, has asked the king to clarify whether he has the keys. After meeting the chief minister, Mohapatra said: “Gajapati Maharaj (the king) is the first servitor of Lord Jagannath and also the chairman of the temple committee. He should call a meeting soon and clarify whether he has the keys. If he can share information on the missing keys, there would be no need for a judicial inquiry.”

The storehouse contains antique gold and diamond jewellery and precious stones, besides silver utensils and valuable ornaments. All together, the Ratna Bhandar is believed to have more than 120 kilograms of gold and 221 kilograms of silver, all belonging to the trinity of Hindu gods Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra.

The treasure also holds historical significance as most of the jewellery and ornaments are antiques. A scripture inside the temple says that Gajapati Kapilendra Deb — the founder of the Gajapati dynasty — had donated a large amount of gold and ornaments to the temple in 1466 AD.

According to folklore, the mysterious inner chambers of the Ratna Bhandar should never be opened as it will only bring disaster. Lord Jagannath will never forgive the deed, warned 65-year-old servitor Narasingha Pujapanda, who has been working at the temple for 45 years.

Part of the Hindu 'Char Dham' pilgrimage, the Jagannath Temple — also known as Srimandir — is famous for the annual Rath Yatra, when lakhs of devotees of Hindu god Krishna crowd the temple town of Puri.
