In a rare gesture, a 70-year-old beggar who sits outside a Jagannath Temple in Phulbani town in Odisha donated Rs 1 lakh she saved over the years to the Jagannath temple in Odisha’s Phulbani. She handed over the money to the president of the Temple Management Committee.
As reported by OpIndia, citing various news sources, a woman named Tula Behera, a native of Phulbani in Odisha, donated Rs 1 lakh from her savings on the auspicious Dhanu Sankranti. The temple administration committee felicitated her for this philanthropic move. A video of the temple authorities honouring her is widely shared on Twitter.
Initially, the temple management was hesitant to accept the donation from such a poor person, but after she insisted, they agreed. A member of the Temple Management Committee said, “When she approached me, I was reluctant to take the money from her. But she insisted, and the Committee finally accepted it from her on the auspicious day of Dhanu Sankranti.”
