Jagannath Temple Darshan Tour

Overview

Welcome to the holy Dham Puri where abodes the living God Shri Jagannath along with elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra making Puri out of four Dhams in India which every Hindu wants to visit at least once in a lifetime. This Dham is a living legend from ages that has attracted many saints, sadhus, philosophers, and pilgrimage in various times who came here to get a glimpse of this God which symbolizes secularism or unity in diversity. The rituals here are performed like a living person and it incorporates many religions and faiths to one. Here we go to the temple not to pray but they have a Darshan or to meet the living God, to establish eye contact or to get immersed with emotion. Truly, meeting this God is a different and unique Devine experience.
