Type of destination: Hindu Temple
The Jagannath Temple in Puri is a sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a form of Lord Vishnu. The temple is a part of the Char Dham pilgrimages that a Hindu is expected to make in one's lifetime. It stands tall in the coastal town of Puri in the state of Odisha, India, and its towering structure dominates the skyline. Built in the late 11th century by King Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva, the temple is famous for its annual Rath Yatra (chariot festival), where the idols of Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra are paraded in massive chariots, drawing millions of devotees. Aside from this, the architectural intricacies with ornate carvings and the religious significance of the temple make it a revered site, radiating spirituality and devotion. The Jagannath Temple complex encompasses a variety of smaller temples and monuments, and the intricate artistry found throughout the grounds is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period. Inside, the ambiance is intense and vibrant with the chanting of prayers and hymns.
