Summary edit

Description

The temple is an important pilgrimage destination for many Hindu traditions, particularly worshippers of god Krishna and god Vishnu, and part of the Char Dham pilgrimages that a Hindu is expected to make in one's lifetime. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagannath_Temple,_Puri Char Dham (four divine sites) comprise Rameswaram, Badrinath, Puri and Dwarka.

Puri is known by several names since the ancient times, and was locally known as "Shrikhetra" and Lord Jagannath temple is known as "Badadeula". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puri

A great temple was founded by Anantavarman Chodaganga in 1135, dedicated to Purushottama (or Vishnu) and the name got changed to Jagannath (Lord of the Universe) in the 15th century during the reign of Gajapatis. www.orissatourism.org/travel-to-orissa/puri/puri-city.html
