Hyderabad's own Jagannath Puri!
Team WOWRAL Mar 09, 2016Constructed in the year 2009, the Jagannath Temple in Hyderabad, India is a contemporary temple built by the Odia community of the city of Hyderabad devoted to the Lord Jagannath. The temple is located near Banjara hills Road no.12 and is famous for its annual Rathyatra festival. Jagannath means Lord of the Universe. This is a replica of original Jagannath Temple of Puri (Orissa) in context of design.
The "Shikhara" or the peak is the attraction centre and measures about 70 feet in height. The red color of the temple is due to the usage of sand stone (around 600 tonnes were brought from Orissa which is being used to build this whole architecture) and around 60 stone carvers got the blessing to carve this temple.
In the temple, there are shrines dedicated to Lakshmi, along with Shiva, Ganesh, Hanuman and Navagrahas. The temple chamber houses Lord Jagannath along with his siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra.
