Answer:
The persons entrusted with seva-puja (ritual services) of the deities are known as sevakas (servitors). Most of them enjoy hereditary rights to perform the ritual services in the temple. It is stated by some scholars that King Anangabhima Dev of the 13th century A.D. introduced 36 categories of sevakas known as chatisanijog. The number of sevakas (servitors), and the association of sevakas (known as nijogs) increased gradually and new ritual services were introduced since 17th century A.D.
In the Record of Rights of the Shree Jagannatha Temple (part-3), there is a list of various classes of sevakas and others employed for and connected with the seva puja and management of the temple.
