Each part of Puri narrates a story dotted in the forms of small shrines and mathas which weave themselves into the larger and the well known cult of Lord Jagannath and forms the base around which the Jagannath darshan tour revolves.
The ancient city of Puri revolves around Lord Jagannath and the essence of spirituality/mysticism in every corner of its being. The city is one of the “Chaar Dhams” established by Adi Shankaracharya, hence being a landmark in the religious tourism map of the country which every Hindu aspires to visit once in lifetime. We are here with our affordable jagannath tour package to make this dream come true for you.
As per mythology, the cycle of Lord Vishnu’s day revolves around the four DHAM where the Lord takes bath at Indian Ocean at Rameshwaram in South, food at Puri in East, meditation at Badrinath in North and rest at Dwarka in west INDIA.
Though the Jagannath Temple, the epicenter of the Jagannath cult, was built in the 12th century AD, till date it remains a vibrant living temple which attracts pilgrims from all over the world throughout the year. Guru Nanak, Saint Kabir, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Bhakta Salabega and many other saints from various cult came here and spend significant time at this holy dham for spiritual enlightenment. The foundation of this magnificent temple was laid by Anantavarman Chodaganga who was an Early Ganga dynasty ruler. The temple is enriched with spectacular architectural brilliance and has around 120 shrines within it. Built on a raised platform, the gigantic temple is an architectural marvel in its own right.
Shree Jagannath is considered to be a living God. He abodes here with his brother BALABHADRA and Sister Subhadra. He lives like a King would live in today’s times. This lifestyle of His gives rise to numerous nitis (rituals) that prevail within the temple on a daily basis. The rituals symbolize everything that a common man does, starting from brushing his teeth to bathing to enjoying 56 types of savories to having a bettle after dinner to digest his food, falling sick once a year, travelling in a Chariot to meet the entire humanity (Ratha Yatra ) and even he leaves his body once in 12 years in a ritual named NABAKALEBAR.
Originally constructed in 1198 BCE, the Jagannath Temple is devoted to Lord Jagannath, who is thought to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The temple is enclosed by two walls, has a 190-foot Shikhara that is supported by Vishnu’s discus-shaped Sudarshan Chakra, and is closed to non-Hindus. Lord Jagannath, the temple’s presiding deity, is shown in black with big white eyes; the statue is constantly cared for by having its garments changed. In our Jagannath Darshan Tour we also include The famous Rath Yatra, an annual chariot parade in which the deity of Lord Jagannath is transported out onto the streets and accompanied by tens of thousands of devotees, also passes through the temple gate. The temple also contains statues of Lord Jagannath’s brothers Balbhadra and Subhadra. The temple is open to all visitors, and Jagannath temple darshan hours are 5:00 am and 10:00 pm. But you can do so right from the temple ticket desk if you want to reserve a customised puja.
The Biju Patnaik International Airport, which is roughly 60 kilometres from the temple, is the closest airport. At a distance of 3 kilometres, the Puri Railway Station is the one that is nearest to the shrine.
