Jagannath Puri Temple

About this site

Jagannath Puri Temple is an independent travel reference for people planning a visit to the Shree Jagannatha temple in Puri, Odisha. We are not the temple, we do not represent the Shree Jagannatha Temple Administration, and nothing on this site is an official announcement.

What you will find here

Practical things that are hard to piece together from scattered sources: how far the temple is from your city and how long the drive really takes, which station and airport to use, when Rath Yatra and the other festivals fall this year, what else is worth seeing around Puri, and what the weather is like month by month.

Where the information comes from

Road distances are calculated from OpenStreetMap road data. Festival dates come from announcements by the temple administration and the Puri district administration where they exist, and from the Hindu panchang otherwise – the calendar page says which is which. Timings and rules are checked against the official temple website. When sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one silently.

What we do not do

We do not accept donations for the temple, we do not sell darshan passes and we never ask for payment to “book” a visit. If someone does that in the name of this site, it is not us. Donations and any official registration belong on the temple's own website.

Found a mistake?

Rules at the temple change, sometimes overnight before a festival. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
