The Jagannath Temple in Hyderabad, Telangana, is a contemporary temple established by the Odia community residing in the city. It is dedicated to Lord Jagannath, a revered deity in Hinduism.
Situated near Banjara Hills on Road No. 12 in Hyderabad, the Jagannath Temple is renowned for its annual Rathyatra festival, which draws thousands of devotees. The name "Jagannath" translates to "Lord of the Universe." Constructed in 2009, the temple is centrally located in the bustling heart of Hyderabad city.
This temple is said to be a replica of the original Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha, particularly in its design. One of the most striking features of the temple is its impressive "Shikhara.".
The temple's height is approximately 70 feet, and its distinctive red color comes from the use of sandstone, with around 600 tons sourced from Odisha for the construction of this impressive architecture.
