Baripada Jagannath Temple Tourism

The Baripada Jagannath Temple, located in the heart of Baripada, a city in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha, India, replicates the grandeur of the original Jagannath Temple in Puri. It is renowned for the annual Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival) that mirrors Puri’s festival but holds the unique distinction of being the only one where only women pull the chariot of Goddess Subhadra, earning it the name 'Maa Subhadra Bije'. The temple architecture showcases typical Kalinga style and is an important pilgrimage for devotees. It stands as a symbol of Odisha’s rich cultural and religious heritage. The temple complex houses the main deities Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Goddess Subhadra. It serves as a vibrant center of spirituality and culture, attracting devotees and tourists alike who come to soak in its serenity and participate in its many religious festivities.
