Jaggannantha Puri India

Considered one of the most important temples on the eastern coast of India, Jagannatha Puri is a Hindu construction located in the state of Odisha. Erected in honor of Jagannatha, one of the avatars of the god Vishnu, Jagannatha Puri was ordered to be built by King Anantavarman Codagaga, being today one of the most important Hindu temples thanks to its Vaisnava traditions. The epicenter of the annual Ratha Yatra, a famous festival of floats carrying three different deities, Jagannatha Puri also honors the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Chaitania Mahaprabhu, who lived for a time in Puri. The area of ​​the complex covers up to 37,000 square meters surrounded by a great wall known as Meghanada Pacheri. Inside, the traveler will find up to 120 temples and altars that overflow with sculptural wealth through four main structures: the Deula, seat of the Throne of Pearls; the front portico known as Mukkhashala; Nata Mandir, a dance hall; and Bhoga Mandapa, the dance hall.
