Just walk around the temple on your own and explore and if you want to buy prasad ,buy... More

There was heavy rain in the evening washing all the sins... More

According to mythology the Lord Jagganath (a form of Vishnu) stays or sleeps in Dwaraka, takes his bath at Rameshswaram, does his prayers at Badrinath, while dropping by Puri for his meals. While there are a lot of stories about how this temple came into being, which make an interesting & amusing read. This temple is interesting from the architectural... More

Its a beautiful ancient temple. Spend good amount of time outside the main temple to view the architecture . Beware of thug pandas. Go on your own inside. Sad part is, the temple is only open to Hindus..
