Hey so uh

If you want a small peek into the American healthcare system

I currently make about $18 an hour before tax. That’s much higher than the minimum wage in my state, which is $9.65.

I have ADHD, for which I am medicated. I take 20mg of Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). I still use my parents’ health insurance, because it’s MUCH better than anything I could get. Under their insurance, my monthly prescription is $30. Less than 2 hours of work for me, or just over 3 hours for someone at minimum wage.

Without my parents’ insurance, that same ADHD medication at that same dosage would be $454. Over 25 hours of work for me, or 47 hours of work for someone at minimum wage in my state.

Federal minimum wage is $7.25. Without insurance, that person would have to work almost 63 hours for one month’s worth of Vyvanse. That’s almost two weeks of full time work (assuming 32 hours a week is full time) going just to one medication, every month, before tax.

Thankfully, I can manage okay if I don’t take my meds. I don’t get significant withdrawal symptoms, maybe because I’m taking such a low dose and I frequently forget to take my meds anyway. If I don’t take them, I struggle more to focus or take care of myself, but I won’t have a medical emergency or worsen existing health issues. This is not the case for everybody! Think of how many different health conditions require continual maintenance and medication, such as insulin injections for diabetics or blood pressure medication for those at risk of stroke. Even for just my medication, not everyone gets so lucky. Some people experience significant withdrawals when they miss a day, like my cousin, who gets migraines if she forgets her meds. Some people would have serious consequences if they forgot to take their meds; I know of people with ADHD who can’t cook unmedicated because they’d burn the house down. If you can’t maintain enough focus to cook or grocery shop, how can you eat?

Point being, medical costs are so hecking high, and I am terrified of turning 26.

URGENT!!!

@safa-abed needs our help! Safaa needs to get urgent medical tests, analyses, x-rays and echocardiograms due to severe anaemia! Their campaign is only at $4,309 of their $60K target, and there have been only four donations in the last 24 hours! I genuinely do not know what else to say to get people’s attention. This genocide has been continuing for 454 days now, and we have seen the most horrifying things happen to the people in Gaza! Yet this keeps happening! I am letting Safaa and everyone in Gaza down; the world is letting them down! We have to do more! If you have money that isn't going towards vital necessities, please donate to Safaa to help her! I know that not everyone can donate, I am in the same situation, but we need to share Safaa’s story with everyone we know, make posts about their campaign, do anything and everything to bring attention and donations to their campaign!

ASUS VivoWatch 6: Advanced Health Monitoring on Your Wrist

Keep tabs on your health with the first smart watch in history that can sense your blood pressure and ECG with just a touch of your finger.

Full health data tracking around-the-clock: With its unique one-touch measuring design and dual, exclusive sensors on both sides, this device is meant to give you continuous, all-around access to detailed health status information.

The new health trends indicator, Body Composition Analysis, and daily stress management tools like Sleep Tracking, Relaxation Index, and Body Harmony Analysis can help you stay healthy.

Its 1.39″ AMOLED touchscreen, dual-frequency GPS, and 9-day battery life make it stylish, functional, and durable. It offers the perfect balance of fashion and use.

The brand-new ASUS Health Connect App was created especially for you, with your needs in mind when it comes to well-being. See how you’re doing in terms of your health performance and quickly review your statistics.

1.39-inch AMOLED Screen

Gorilla Glass 3 Touchscreen

The ASUS VivoWatch 6 AMOLED display provides crisper, more contrasted images. The touchscreen’s Gorilla Glass 3 material offers remarkable scratch and smudge resistance in addition to outstanding durability.

1.39-inch AMOLED Screen

454 by 454 pixels in size

350 nits of light

VivoWatch 6

Amazing Energy Savings

With the exceptional efficiency of the AMOLED display, the VivoWatch 6 may be used for up to 14 days when fully charged.

Nine days of consistent daily use

In Power Saving Mode, for up to 14 days

The following are the battery life circumstances for the VivoWatch 6 in standard mode testing: Fully charged, with the default brightness of the watch face set to 5, the blood oxygen background measurement turned off, the pulse wave index background measurement turned on and measured once every 60 minutes, the ability to receive up to 100 messages, two alarms set, three medication reminders set, a manual blood pressure measurement twice a day, and the device not worn while sleeping.

The following battery life requirements apply when testing the VivoWatch 6 in Power-Saving mode: Fully charged, with the default brightness of the watch face set to 3, the blood oxygen background measurement turned off, the pulse wave index background measurement turned on and measured once every 120 minutes, the receipt of 100 messages, two alarms set, three medication reminders set, a manual blood pressure measurement twice a day, and the device not worn while sleeping.

Measurement of One Touch on Demand, Anytime, Anywhere

Single-Touch Measuring

To receive health-related insights, all you need to do is lightly touch the sensors with your hands. Your fingertips have a higher microvascular density than other parts of your body, which makes it possible to measure them more precisely and decrease outside interference to obtain data that accurately represents your body’s actual condition.

Internal testing has shown that the VivoWatch 6’s dual sensors are at least 10% more accurate than single optical sensor measures. More accurate results are also obtained because the fingertips have a higher density of blood vessels than the wrist. Two smart watches: one displays a sensor on the front, while the other displays a sensor on the back.

Multiple Sensor Architecture

Side Sensor

You may view real-time measurements of your blood pressure, heart rate, body composition, ECG, and SpO₂ by placing your fingertips on the left and front sensor modules of the VivoWatch 6. The features that allow for measuring blood pressure and ECG may differ depending on the location.

Rear Sensor

The rear sensor tracks your vitals automatically when it’s worn, even when you’re sleeping. There are multiple periods for setting up data recording, ranging from every 5 minutes to every 2 hours.

Throughout the day, keep an eye on your health with the most recent

Algorithm of ASUS Health  AI 5.0

The most recent ASUS Health care AI 5.0 algorithm was created by a group of experts in medical algorithms and biosensing technology. It gathers and analyses data in real-time to deliver health insights all day long.

ASUS Healthconnect app

Blood pressure monitoring with the ASUS VivoWatch 6

International healthcare regulators have recognised the Software as a Medical Device standard, and ASUS VivoWatch 6 supports it. VivoWatch 6 assists you in tracking your cardiovascular health by monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate in conjunction with the ASUS HealthConnect app.

Using the ASUS VivoWatch 6 to take an ECG

For 30 seconds, place your thumb and fingers on the dual sensors on the VivoWatch watch face to record in-depth information using the electrocardiogram (ECG) app. Your healthcare provider can then access the ECG results via the ASUS HealthConnect app.

Physical Make-Up

Handling Stress and Emotions

Monitoring Sleep

Additional Health Functions

Body Composition Monitoring Your Development

Physical Make-Up

Water content, fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate are all measured by VivoWatch 6 using built-in electrical sensors and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology.

How to calculate your body’s composition:

Once you have chosen the Body Composition option, enter your weight.

Grasp your index finger on the metal ring surrounding the watch face and gently press your thumb against the left sensor.

Your body composition data will show on the screen after a brief wait.

Athletics

Keep track while working out

You may track a variety of exercise activities, such as cycling, yoga, walking, and jogging, using our many workout modes. Water-resistance ensures that ASUS VivoWatch 6 is equipped for water-based sports as well.

Water-efficient

5 ATM Water Resistance

Rain or shine, the VivoWatch 6 is prepared for use. It can endure pressures down to 50 metres with 5 ATM water resistance, so it’s more than ready for a swim, shower, or unexpected deluge.

Fulfils the ISO 22810:2010 standard 5 ATM water-resistance rating criteria, making it appropriate for daily use and shallow-water activities like swimming in beaches or pools. Because of normal wear and perspiration, the water resistance may diminish over time and is not always effective.

GPS

GPS with two frequencies

VivoWatch 6’s integrated dual-frequency L1 and L5 GPS allows for quicker satellite acquisition and more precise location tracking. Take pleasure in outdoor pursuits and gather the necessary data without needing to bring your phone.

Five-star positioning system GNSS includes GPS, QZSS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou.

The weather

VivoWatch 6 makes it easy to monitor weather predictions, including temperature, rain chance, air quality index, and UV strength, anytime, anywhere.

When The Sickness Comes Knocking

Pairing: Ellie & Joel

Word count: 454

Summary: Ellie has a fever and Joel worries

Warnings: fever, mention of David, works for either game or show, there is one word that makes it lean more towards the game setting but that’s because the show barely had any infected, father-daughter relationship, sick Ellie, set in Jackson

A/N: this is a little rough I apologize. I’m struggling with writers block.

“Joel, you're going overboard.” Ellie said, voice barely audible. Whether that’s because her throat is slightly swollen or because she’s buried underneath five blankets, Joel’s not sure.

She’s right though. He’s holding a sixth blanket like it’s a cure for her fever, like the cough syrup was a last minute desperate attempt and not the thing that’s actually chasing away her fever. Ellie looks better than she did when she woke up and that’s thanks to the medication and not the copious amount of blankets. Still, Joel makes no move to fold the blanket back up.

She’ll sweat it out. That’s what Tommy had told him. He probably meant naturally and not with the aid of a concerning amount of blankets on top of the sick girl's body. Maybe he should switch to lightweight sheets.

Yes, Joel nodded, that’s a good idea.

He started removing the blankets but Ellie scrambled to prevent him from stealing her warmth. She made a small whine at the back of her throat, “Giveth and taketh.”

Shakespeare.

Or maybe it’s a quote from Dr. Who.

Joel’s not sure.

He is sure of one thing though. She’s pale as snow and shaking like an earthquake is thundering through her body.

She can’t take any more medicine right now and Joel realises that is what it’s really about; why he’s so tightly wounded over a simple fever. The medicine. Not the red eyes or runny nose. No, it’s the fucking bottle of liquid that sits on the kitchens countertop.

Because Ellie trekked through snow and bruising winds, faced infected and cannibals. She killed people and it was all for him. To get him medicine. Because of him she fell in the hands of Dav-… No, Joel can’t finish that thought. Rage builds within him and that’s the last thing Ellie needs right now. The point is that she went through hell to keep him alive and all he has to offer is fabric.

Ellie gave a violent cough, sitting up sharply as she gasped for air and Joel was quick to work his way onto the couch behind her. He gently pulled her back to rest against his chest, hoping it’ll help ease her airway open. He kept them sitting up straight while Ellie eventually caught her breath.

He doesn’t dare to move when she finally is able to breathe without wheezing. Doesn’t let go when her body sags against his, boneless and tired. He’ll stay here with her until she’s better. It doesn’t matter that in an hour from now his legs will go numb, his back will start screaming in protest, begging for him to get up and stretch.

Nothing, other than the girl in his arms, matters.

[covered-in-bones]

i let you alter my entire being. everything that i was and everything that i am was molded by you. you created this person i am now. this sad, angry, withering person that i am. this person thats takes medication just to feel a pinch of something other than misery, this person who cannot sleep without sleep aid, this person who flinches at the mention of love, this person that is now 454 days sober, this person who has not self harmed in 3 years.

HEALTH CARE

PAGE ONE

Panel 1

A stereotypical, fully-stocked doctor’s office, with equipment on the walls and counters. A female doctor with a white lab coat and stethoscope writes on a tablet with a stylus. In the foreground, hands hold an open copy of the Project 2025 document, open to chapter 14: “Department of Health and Human Services.”

DOCTOR: Let me be frank. I’m afraid you don’t have much time. A matter of weeks, to be precise.

DOCTOR: November 5th is Election Day. On that day, you will decide the impact Project 2025 will have upon your health.

DOCTOR: Project 2025 was created to provide a blueprint for future policy. Its chapter on health care was written by Roger Severino, who served in Trump’s Health and Human Services Department.

DOCTOR: Should Trump be elected president, Roger Severino’s plan for American health care would become Donald Trump’s plan for your life.

Panel 2

A chemotherapy unit. A female nurse places an IV into a patient’s hand. Next to her, a woman and child—implicitly the patient’s family—look on with tearful concern. Behind them are several other exhausted cancer patients.  To the left of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 document’s policy on the use of AI in fraud reduction, as referenced in the panel.

NURSE: Every living American is in possession of a body. At some point, that body will require care. And who best to decide that care than American physicians?

NURSE: Yet Project 2025 proposes that artificial intelligence be used to determine what is suitable treatment for those currently covered by Medicare. [2025, p. 463]

NURSE: With its implementation, software incapable of incorporating context could conclude that your lifesaving medical care is unnecessary and wasteful.

Panel 3

A pharmacy. A female pharmacist looks on at a group of patients, all of whom are panicking over the prices of their prescriptions. One patient holds a bottle containing a single pill in one hand and a receipt in the other. The receipt tells the reader that this single tablet costs $21,565.00. To the right of the panel is a snippet of the Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare Part D Reform, which is quoted in the panel.

PHARMACIST: Project 2025 will not only have a negative effect upon your body, but your bank account! One major Project 2025 policy goal is to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act. [2025, p. 465]

PHARMACIST: The IRA was established during the Biden administration to protect those on Medicare by implementing “government price controls for prescription drugs.” [2025, p. 465]

PHARMACIST: This simple act has saved countless people from medical bankruptcy and death by making lifesaving prescriptions affordable.

PHARMACIST: Not one more life should be lost to the rationing of overpriced medication.

PAGE TWO

Panel 1

A child’s bedroom. A concerned mother leans toward the reader with a giant nasal swab in her hand, ready to administer a Covid test. Behind her, on top of a dresser, sits a teddy bear wearing a surgical mask.  To the right of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 document’s policy on vaccination, as referenced in the panel.

MOTHER: It would be negligent to discuss American health care without addressing Covid. The virus has taken over a million American lives. And “Long Covid” continues to have a debilitating effect on the populace.

MOTHER: Project 2025 would amplify those issues through the removal of vaccination and mask mandates from Medicare and Medicaid hospitals. It also recommends that the Center for Disease Control be stripped of the ability to suggest that schools embrace masking or vaccination strategies. [2025, p. 454, p. 472]

Panel 2

A Planned Parenthood clinic. A female technician addresses a group of worried-looking teen girls of various races. One holds a pair of pamphlets—one on “Preventative Care,” and the other on “The Gynecological Visit and Exam: What to Expect.” To the left of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 proposal to defund Planned Parenthood, as referenced in the panel.

TECHNICIAN: With Project 2025, the government assumes control of what medical treatment you receive and where that treatment occurs.

TECHNICIAN: The documentstresses a desire to “eliminate the week-after-pill from the contraceptive mandate” and a prohibition of “funds to pay for cross-sex transition support.” [2025, p. 485]

TECHNICIAN: The document also concludes that “policymakers should end taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.” [2025, p. 471]

Panel 3

A hospital delivery room. A female obstetrician, with mask and face guard, sits at the foot of the bed of a patient with legs spread, about to give birth. Two other medical professionals stand behind the obstetrician, and one is giving two thumbs up. To the right of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 document’s policy on abortion training, as referenced in the panel.

OBSTETRICIAN: I want to be clear. The medical care of one’s sexual organs should not be elective or considered cosmetic. And training for that treatment should not be abolished! [2025, p. 485-6]

OBSTETRICIAN: This is a vital part of American health care that not only determines whether a citizen lives or dies, but also decides what that quality of life will be after treatment. 

OBSTETRICIAN: American health care should serve to limit American suffering.

PAGE THREE

Panel 1

Outside an ambulance at a crime scene. Police officers secure the scene, taking photos and calming the victim’s worried loved ones members. In the foreground, a female EMT bandages a supine patient, who is implicitly the victim of violence. To the right of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 document’s policy on lifetime benefit caps, as quoted in the panel.

EMT: Our health care should serve to enhance or preserve life, not saddle our citizens with a lifetime of crippling debt. Yet Project 2025 calls to “add targeted time limits or lifetime caps on benefits to disincentivize permanent dependence.” [2025, p. 468]

EMT: This does not take emergency care into account. One critical incident could easily create an expense that no Medicaid cap would allow for and a lifetime of work could never cover.

Panel 2

A hospital operating room. A female anesthesiologist in full surgical scrubs holds a gas mask out to the reader, about put them under. Another doctor hovers in the background. To the left of the panel is a snippet of the Project 2025 document’s policy on work incentives, as quoted in the panel.

ANESTHESIOLOGIST: A critical incident can alter one’s ability to work. A catastrophic event can alter one’s ability to find work. Project 2025 advocates for Medicaid to establish “work incentives for able-bodied individuals.” [2025, p. 468]

ANESTHESIOLOGIST: Yet even for able-bodied individuals, work is not a guarantee. Employment opportunities are impacted by economic downturns and natural disasters. The world we live in is not a predictable one.

Panel 3

A morgue. A morgue attendant in full PPE zips up a body bag that the reader is implicitly inside.

MORGUE ATTENDANT: Project 2025 is not an inevitability! It’s not too late for you to save your life—and the lives of your fellow citizens. The cure for the destructive policies of Project 2025 can be found within your vote.

MORGUE ATTENDANT: There’s still time. Take action. And take care.

Lanyard Weaving: The Art and Craft Behind Creative Designs

Lanyard Design: Key Queries Explained

1.What is the maximum strength of a lanyard?  

The maximum strength of a lanyard varies depending on its material and construction. Typically, nylon or polyester lanyards can have a tensile strength ranging from 300 to 1,000 pounds (136 to 454 kg) or more. It is essential to check the manufacturer's specifications for exact strength ratings, especially for safety-critical applications. 2. What are the limitations on lanyards?

Lanyards can be limited by their material strength, which may not support heavy items. They can also pose safety risks if they catch on equipment or during physical activities. Additionally, certain environments, like medical settings, may restrict their use to prevent contamination. Lastly, branding or customization options may be limited by design and manufacturing constraints.

3. What are the objectives of lanyard?

The objectives of a lanyard include providing a convenient way to carry items like IDs, keys, or badges; enhancing security by keeping important items accessible; promoting branding through custom designs; and ensuring easy visibility of identification in various settings. Lanyards are practical for events, workplaces, and organizations to facilitate identification and access.

4. What is lanyard making called?

Lanyard making is often referred to as "lanyard crafting" or "lanyard weaving." It involves creating lanyards, which are typically made from cord or ribbon, using techniques like braiding, knotting, or weaving. These lanyards can be used for holding ID badges, keys, or other items, and can be customized in various colors and patterns.

5. What is similar to a lanyard?

Similar to a lanyard are items like badge reels, neck straps, and keychains. These accessories are often used to hold identification cards, keys, or small tools and can be worn around the neck or attached to bags. They serve a functional purpose while also providing easy access to items, much like a lanyard does.

Beep

I came back to a harsh beeping. Continuous and marching in rhythm to the pounding in my head. It seemed that instantly, I knew what had happened, and in the next second, I saw him walk in the door.

“You fucked up kid” was the first thing he said to me.

Yeah.

I had almost died.

I guess that’s fucking up.

I couldn’t look him in the eyes, as a silence fell between us, broken only by the harsh beep of the machinery.

It was a nurse walking into the room who finally broke the stalemate, “.454, sweetie, were you trying to die?”

“Well yes,” the thought rings through my head, but I remain silent, my gaze tracing the iv running into my arm, imagining my veins pulsing.

Beep

“Well clearly, this was a cry for help,” this time it was my father’s voice, responding to the nurse, but clearly directed at me. I could feel his eyes burning a hole through me, normally gray like storm clouds gathering on the horizon, I’d imagine now they were the bright blue of lightning, the dry heat of his anger cutting into the room, tinting his voice ever so slightly.

Yeah, I fucked up.

Beep

“The doctor would like to move him to psych once they are sure he is stable, they pumped his stomach, and he should be in the clear, but they'll want to hang onto him for a couple more hours to be sure.”

My father’s voice is silent for a second.

Beep

“I don’t think that’s necessary, he just had a bit too much to drink, this was only a cry for help I think.”

Apparently someone doesn’t understand what that phrase means.

Beep

“Well, the doctor will speak with you both, and once they have their decision I will let you know.”

With that, I can hear her keys jingle as she turns, and the sound of her footsteps as she retreats down the hall.

Beep

The IV is a wondrous invention, often overlooked as a routine part of medical care, so much of modern medicine would be impossible without it. I think about this as I stare at the needle in my arm.

Beep

2 hours later, we are walking out, my father in his gray patagonia vest over a sensible button up, and me in a hospital gown, apparently they had to cut the rest of my clothes off of me. As we walk to the car, I think about the clothes I had lost, including my favorite leather belt, but my thoughts are cut short as my father unlocks his Audi.

Disparity in health services for migrants in India

According to Mahant Shri Paras ji, discrepancies in migrant health care in India are a serious problem that are a reflection of larger social and economic inequalities. A multitude of barriers prevent migrants, who frequently relocate in quest of improved employment prospects, from getting access to quality medical care. This blog explores the health care inequalities and obstacles faced by migrants in India, emphasizing systemic problems and possible fixes.

Social work has been ‘described’ as a multidimensional profession that combines art and science with a broad knowledge base. The increasing frequency of human and natural disasters has resulted in a clear call for the social work profession to play a critical role in addressing environmental concerns. Over time, the social work profession has been more associated with the environmentalist movement, resulting in terms like “green social work” and “environmental social work.”

Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust

From the bottom of our hearts, we extend a warm welcome to you into the Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust family. In our Sanatan Dharm, this Parivaar was founded and is now being maintained by our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji of Sanatan Dharm to contribute to the welfare of the underprivileged and needy people. Because he consistently states, “happiness of maa is behind their smile.” This idea of Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji has become the focus of our family’s daily activities.

The Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust works 365 days a year to lug our Paras Guru’s vision forward. We have helped more than 10 lakh needy people, and thanks to Maa and our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji of Sanatan Dharm, this number is steadily rising. And it is the grandeur of Sanatan Dharm that we strive to assist those who cannot afford to pay for their education or who are food insecure.

Because we usually hear the quote “Unity is Strength” in everyday life, the Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust would like for you to join our family. We are certain that if we all work together as a single family, we will be stronger and more committed to helping more people in need. Serving an increasing number of individuals in need will enable us to carve out a large place in the heart of our Maa. So, join the Paras Parivaar now for the chance of a lifetime to make the poor and needy smile widely.

Working hard to boost the lives of the poor and needy would also help us reduce the rate of poverty and increase the rate of education in our nation. In addition to providing aid to those in need, our Mahant Shri Paras Bhai Ji wants to educate them so that they may become self-sufficient and contribute to the cause. Join our Paras Parivaar Charitable Trust and aid those in need and destitute with what they need for food, shelter, and education.

An Overview of Indian Migration

The growth in the number of Internal Migrants in India from 315 million in 2001 to 454 million in 2011 indicates that nearly 14 million people migrate each year. With the country’s increasing migration rate, delivering adequate healthcare to all remains tough. Based on a thorough review of the literature, the current study assesses the health of internal migrants in India, with a particular emphasis on understanding the health condition and access to health care for women migrants in their destination.

The review’s findings revealed numerous health risks and morbid conditions, including the danger of infectious diseases, work-related illness, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and psychological disorders. Major health difficulties for female migrants were pregnancy and maternal health, anemia prevalence, STI risk, marital abuse, and job harassment. This review paper identifies a lack of social security and health care coverage for migrants as critical concerns, emphasizing the importance of all-inclusive urban health care policies to ensure migrants’ overall health and well-being, as well as improved work and living conditions in their destination region.

Results for Health

Migrants typically have poorer health outcomes than their non-migrant colleagues. According to research, internal migrants are more likely to contract infectious diseases, suffer accidents, and have mental health issues. For example, a review discovered that migrants used antenatal care facilities infrequently and had a high prevalence of home births, indicating inadequate maternal health services.

Systemic Disparities

Migrant health disparities are more than just individual difficulties; they reflect systemic injustices in the healthcare system. Decentralized health systems in states like Kerala have shown some progress in lowering disparities, but huge gaps still exist. While there are projects aimed at improving health access for marginalized communities, many local governments do not make the greatest use of their resources.

Puri Jagannadh Temple: Ratna Bhandar Mystery of 46 Years and Inside Treasure

On July 14, 2024, amidst the fervor of the Rath Yatra festival, a long-held secret of Puri's Lord Jagannath Temple was unveiled—the Ratna Bhandar, the temple’s storied inner vault, was opened for the first time in 46 years. This momentous event unfolded after meticulous preparations and numerous attempts over the decades to access the treasure trove within.

A Historic and Spiritual Milestone

The Ratna Bhandar, an integral part of the 12th-century Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, is famed for its enigmatic history and sacred treasures. The vault’s reopening is a significant event not only due to its historical and spiritual significance but also because it represents a rare glimpse into the Puri Jagannadh temple’s opulent past.

Justice Biswanath Rath, the chairman of the committee overseeing this historic event, emphasized the spiritual protocols observed prior to the vault’s reopening. According to Rath, approval was sought from Goddess Bimala and Goddess Laxmi, the owner and caretaker of the treasury, respectively. This step underscores the deep-rooted spiritual customs intertwined with the temple’s administration.

Ratna Bhandar Treasury

The Ratna Bhandar is reputed to house an extraordinary collection of treasures, including diamonds, gold, and precious gemstones. Historical accounts highlight its immense value. King Anangabhima Dev, a prominent benefactor, is said to have donated 2.5 lakh madhas of gold to create jewelry for the deities. As per the Odisha Review magazine’s 2022 article, the vault’s contents include 180 types of ornaments, among them 74 varieties of pure gold items, some weighing over 1.2 kg each. The collection also features gold plates, diamond-encrusted artifacts, and more than 140 pieces of silver jewelry.

Historical records from 1805 mention a detailed list of 1,333 items, including gold and silver coins, some of which have been lost to time. The last detailed inventory, conducted in 1978, revealed 454 types of gold ornaments and 293 types of silver ornaments, underscoring the vault’s vast and diverse collection.

A Chamber of Two Secrets: The Bhitara Bhandar and Bahara Bhandar

The Ratna Bhandar comprises two distinct chambers:

Bhitara Bhandar (Inner Chamber): This heavily guarded sanctum houses the most precious and rarely used treasures. According to historical records, it contains over 180 types of ornaments, some crafted from pure gold and weighing over 1.2 kilograms.

Bahara Bhandar (Outer Chamber): This section is opened more frequently, usually during festivals and the annual Rath Yatra (chariot procession), to adorn the deities in their resplendent attire.

Ratna bhandar re opening process

The process to open the Ratna Bhandar has been shrouded in complexity. The last comprehensive inventory in 1978 took over 70 days. Attempts to access the vault since the 1980s have been fraught with challenges, including failed attempts in April 2018 due to missing keys.

This latest attempt involved a carefully planned process, including videography to document the inventory for future reference. Special teams selected an auspicious time to unlock the vault, using duplicate keys as a precaution. Concerns about potential snake presence in the vault led to preparations involving a skilled snake charmer and a team of medical professionals.

Justice Biswanath Rath, who participated in the opening process, confirmed that there were no unusual findings, dismissing rumors of serpents within the vault.

The Temple’s Doors and Political Implications

In a symbolic gesture, all four gates of the Jagannath Temple, which had been closed since the COVID-19 pandemic, were reopened last month. These gates, representing various animals—lions, tigers, elephants, and horses—serve as a reminder of the temple’s historical and cultural grandeur.

The reopening of the Ratna Bhandar has also stirred political discourse. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the BJD-led Odisha government for alleged mishandling and lack of transparency regarding the vault’s inventory. They highlighted how political issues and controversies have overshadowed the temple's sacred and historical significance.

A Cultural and Spiritual Legacy

The Jagannath Temple's annual Rath Yatra remains a grand spectacle, drawing millions of devotees to Puri. The festival, featuring the chariot procession of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balbhadra, and Goddess Subhadra, is a testament to the enduring cultural and spiritual heritage of the region.

As the Ratna Bhandar opens a new chapter in its storied history, it not only reveals the temple’s rich legacy but also reinforces the profound connection between spirituality and heritage in Odisha. This historic event marks a new beginning in the temple’s journey, blending centuries-old traditions with contemporary transparency and reverence.
