Gundicha Temple at Puri is just 3 kms away from the Jaganath Temple. We visited this temple in the evening on our way back from Chilka lake to Puri.
The temple is built using light-grey sandstone and follows Kalinga temple architecture style. The temple is set within a high walled compound and photography is not allowed inside temple complex. All photos that feature here are of the entrance gate to temple.
This temple is empty through out the year and only for 7 days out of 9-day Rath Yatra Lord Jagannath is relocated to this temple from Jaganath Temple.

Hey Rajesh nice pictures, my cousins visited Gundicha Temple last year during Rath Yatra. But they didn’t the hotel they were staying in. I wanted to check out this temple, can you suggest a hotel that would be adequate for my stay.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I do not remember the hotel I stayed in Puri. I was there for 3 nights. It was on a road parallel to the the beach road. There were many hotels on that road.
ReplyDeleteLooks a very well kept Temple, lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots - will be there next time I go to Puri.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting Rajesh. The temple is empty through out the year and only for 7 days its used
