DEV ALA PARICHHA - தேவ் அல பறிச்சா

Language - Sanskrit/Telugu

Telugu Word - తేవ్ అల పఱిచ్చా

Temple Officer Appointed by the Collector. Example: Historically, the 'Dev Ala Parichha' was one of the three key officials responsible for managing the Jagannath Temple in Khurda, appointed by the Collector under the Raja's authority. This term combines 'Deva' (god or deity), 'ala' (temple or abode), and 'parichha' (caretaker or manager). It refers to a specific temple officer responsible for the administration and management of the Jagannath Temple in Khurda, Odisha. While historically appointed by the Collector under the Raja's authority, the appointment process might have changed over time. The Dev Ala Parichha, along with two other officers, played a crucial role in overseeing the temple's rituals, finances, and overall functioning.
