Jagannath Temple, Hindu temple in Puri, India
The Jagannath Temple features a 165-foot dome topped with the Sudarshan Chakra and spans across 400,000 square feet near Swargadwar Beach.
King Anantavarman Chodaganga Dev initiated the temple construction in the 12th century, and his son King Anangabhima Deva completed the structure.
The temple houses wooden idols of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balaram, and Goddess Subhadra, which undergo replacement every 8 to 19 years during Nabakalebar.
The temple complex contains 30 smaller temples and four main gates, with visitors entering through the eastern Lion Gate after climbing 22 steps.
The temple kitchen prepares food for 100,000 people daily using clay pots stacked in groups of seven to cook multiple dishes simultaneously.
