Sevakas are individuals who are responsible for performing ritual services, known as seva-puja, in a temple. Some scholars believe that King Anangabhima Dev of the 13th century created 36 categories of sevakas, referred to as chatisanijog. Over time, the number of sevakas and the associations they belong to, known as nijogs, have grown and additional ritual services have been introduced since the 17th century. The Record of Rights of the Shree Jagannatha Temple includes a list of the various classes of sevakas and other individuals involved in the seva puja and management of the temple.<\/p>\n

According to the said list, there are 119 categories sevakas belonging to the temple as follows:<\/p>\n
