Alarnatha Temple, Hindu temple in Puri district, India

The Alarnath Temple features a stone statue of Vishnu with four arms holding a lotus, conch, disc, and mace in its sanctuary.

The temple gained importance in the 12th century when it became a sacred site during the period when Jagannath Temple remains closed for rituals.

During the Anavasara period of the Hindu calendar month of Ashadha, devotees believe Lord Jagannath manifests at Alarnath Temple as Alarnath Dev.

The temple maintains regular visiting hours from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM and offers accommodation facilities for pilgrims in the surrounding area.

The temple celebrates a 21-day Chandana Yatra festival in its lake, where devotees apply sandalwood paste to the deities during summer months.
