Jagannath temple is one of the four sacred dhams of Hindus, located in the small coastal city Puri in Indian state of Orissa. This temple is very ancient and is very coveted for Hindus on mythological context. Visited by a large number of devotees year-round, this place is now a major pilgrimage site in India. The magnanimous temple of lord Jagannath here is the major attraction for devotees. It is where a wooden idol of the deity is worshiped from centuries. Besides, there are two other figures of Balbhadhra and Shubhdra which are equally revered and worshiped by devotees.
The temple of puri Jagannath is backed by the picturesque scenery of sea and distant land scenario. The entire of the city seems to be dedicated to lord Jagannath, as the day begins with enchanting sounds of temple bells, artis and bhajan. Every day, people in hordes visit the temple to pay the deity obeisance. On special occasions & festivals, an ocean of humanity can be seen flocking to this heavenly shrine. The famous Rath festival witnesses masses of crowds enjoying the festivity with fullest fervor and boundless devotion. It is when the images of deities are transported to the Gundicha Mandir in three massive chariots pulled with a slew of devotees by sturdy ropes. After 9 days, the idols are taken back to the main jagannath puri temple with an atmosphere full of amiability and merriment. This occasion is marked by great zeal and enthusiasm among the pilgrims and spectators. People’s devotion for lord Jagannath has to be seen to be believed.
