The Govardhan Mutt of Puri, one of the four key mutts established by Adi Shankara, the prominent Hindu saint, is all set to be kept out of the Odisha government’s administrative purview.
About:
The Govardhan mutt is the only such mutt currently controlled by a State Act.
The three others — Sharada Mutt (at Sringeri in Karnataka), Dwarka Mutt (in Gujarat) and Jyotir Mutt (at Joshimath in Uttarakhand) — function autonomously. The management of these mutts has been vested with the respective Shankaracharyas.
The Odisha Hindu Religious Endowment (Amendment) Bill, 2019 was passed in the ongoing winter session of the Odisha State Assembly. The bill excludes the Govardhan Mutt from the purview of the Odisha Hindu Religious Endowment Act, 1951.
