Mukti Mandapa, Religious council platform in Puri, India
The Mukti Mandapa features a black granite platform measuring nine hundred square feet with sixteen pillars supporting a thirteen-foot-high roof.
The Mukti Mandapa was constructed in the 15th century at the request of Queen Gauri Mahadevi, wife of King Mansingh of Jaipur.
The platform houses a council of Brahmin scholars who make final decisions on religious matters and approve the yearly religious calendar.
Visitors can access the Mukti Mandapa daily, where they receive blessings and guidance from the resident scholars on personal matters.
The sixteen pillars of the Mukti Mandapa represent the sixteen Brahmin settlements established around Puri by King Ramachandara Dev.
