Gundicha Temple, Hindu temple in Puri, India
The temple features white sandstone walls, a pyramidal roof structure, and multiple halls spread across a garden-filled complex measuring 120 meters by 120 meters.
The temple was constructed in the 16th century as a temporary residence for Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra deities during the annual Rath Yatra festival.
During the Rath Yatra festival, three massive wooden chariots transport the deities from Jagannath Temple to Gundicha Temple, where they stay for nine days.
Visitors must remove shoes before entering, wear modest clothing, and follow temple guidelines prohibiting photography inside the main shrine areas.
The temple remains empty for most of the year except during the Rath Yatra period, when it becomes the center of celebrations for hundreds of thousands of devotees.
