Abstract
In February 1877 Divyasimha Deva, Maharaja of Puri and hereditary Superintendent of the great Jagannatha temple in Puri, was convicted of murder of a sadhu and sentenced to transportation for life to the Andaman Islands. Only a few years later in 1882, however, various groups of Puri priests and Oriya Brahmins petitioned the British Government in support of the Puri royal family and against a proposal to take over the administration of the Jagannatha temple: The Maharaja of Pooree is the most respectable person among the Hindoos of India. Though there are many wealthier Rajas in Hindoostan none of them is held by the Hindoos with equal veneration.
