Located in the coastal city of Puri, Odisha, the Lord Jagannath Temple is an ancient temple revered by many for its deep religious and cultural significance. Dedicated to Lord Jagannath, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, the shrine is a significant place of worship that attracts millions of pilgrims and travellers yearly. The main temple houses the deities Lord Jagannath, his sister Subhadra and his brother Balabhadra along with smaller shrines, halls and courtyards.
What sets it apart from other temples is its emphasis on inclusivity. Here, the concept of Nabakalebara is followed in which wooden idols of the deities are replaced with new ones in certain cycles, allowing all to have the honour of serving the divine irrespective of one’s caste or creed.
The temple of Lord Jagannath is more than just a place of worship: it’s a cultural and social centre that embodies Odisha’s rich heritage. Its kitchen, called the Anand Bazaar, serves thousands of devotees daily, providing them with a flavour of soulful nourishment via the Mahaprasad.
The temple’s enchanting charm goes even further with its spiritual ambience, architectural grandeur and ancient rituals making it a symbol of devotion and unity that go beyond geographical and cultural borders. Visiting the Lord Jagannath Temple is like taking a deep dive into divinity, history and the endurance of human faith.
