Jagannath Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:00:27

This 17th-century temple, about 12km southwest of town (₹250 return by autorickshaw), is a smaller version of the great Jagannath Mandir at Puri, and is open to non-Hindus. Every year during the Rath Yatra festival, in the same manner as in Puri in Odisha, Jagannath and his brother and sister gods are charioted to their holiday home, a smaller temple some 500m away.
