Bengal government to remove ‘Dham’ tag from name of Digha temple
The temple was inaugurated by the previous Trinamool Congress government in 2025; BJP leaders and religious authorities from Puri objected to the temple being called ‘Jagannath Dham’
The West Bengal government has decided to remove the descriptor 'Dham' from the name of a temple in Digha. The temple, which was inaugurated in 2025 by the prior Trinamool Congress administration, had been referred to as 'Jagannath Dham'. This naming convention drew criticism from Bharatiya Janata Party leaders and religious figures associated with the Jagannath Temple in Puri.
The decision addresses concerns about the appropriation of religious titles and potential confusion with established pilgrimage sites.
