Jagannath Puri
Experience the Lord of the Universe at one of Char Dham pilgrimages with VIP darshan, Mahaprasad blessings, Rath Yatra festival experiences, and serene beach contemplation along the Bay of Bengal.
Sacred Origins & Divine Legacy
Jagannath Puri represents the eastern anchor of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit. According to the Skanda Purana, Lord Vishnu appeared in his Nila Madhava form to King Indradyumna, who then established the temple housing the iconic wooden forms of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra. The temple's architecture rises 214 feet with the Nila Chakra visible from miles away. The annual Rath Yatra sees three colossal chariots carrying the deities through streets filled with millions of devotees. The temple kitchen prepares the world-famous Mahaprasad in 752 earthen chulhas, considered blessed by Goddess Lakshmi herself. Our experience includes strategic darshan timing, Mahaprasad arrangements, and excursions to the magnificent Konark Sun Temple and serene Chilika Lake.
