The Jagannath temple at Puri enshrines Jagannath, a form of Vishnu, alongside his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, carved in a distinctive wooden form. It is one of the four Char Dham sites that a Hindu pilgrim aspires to visit in a lifetime. Each year the deities leave the sanctum to ride enormous chariots through the streets in the Rath Yatra, a procession witnessed by millions.
The present temple was built in the 12th century by the Eastern Ganga king Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva.
The shrine is dedicated to Lord Jagannath, and devotees come from across the country for darshan in the inner sanctum. What follows is the heart of what each pilgrim seeks here.
