Puri Temple History
The temple is a complex of four structures in an East-West alignment. The Bhog Mandir, The Nat Mandir, The Jagmohan and the inner sanctuary, the last of which is surmounted by a conical tower 58.5 mt high. The Bhog Mandir is believed to have been added in the 14th or 15th century, long after the original structure was completed.
In the inner sanctuary are the three holy images of Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra, and his sister Subhadra.
Temple entrance is decorated with scenes from the life of Krishna, and the gates and walls are heavily ornamented with marble figures of lions and sentries.
Crowned with Vishnu’s flag and wheel. The tower, however, retains its commanding appearance in spite of the heavy cement overlay. To preserve the temple from the corroding effects of sea wind, parts of the stone masonry and the elaborate carvings have been covered with thick plaster.
Distributed around the main building are some 30 to 40 shrines of various dimensions and designs.
