The Living Heart of Puri and the Rath Yatra The Jagannath Temple is a 12th-century Hindu temple in Puri, Odisha, dedicated to Jagannath, a form of Vishnu, worshipped alongside his siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra. Begun by the Eastern Ganga king Anantavarman Chodaganga Deva, it is one of the four sacred Char Dham pilgrimage sites and the origin of the annual Rath Yatra chariot festival, which gave English the word 'juggernaut'.
