Splendid Structures: Shri Jagannath Temple, Hyderabad, India
First posted on WordPress here.
For posts on all structures such as temples, churches and building I have come across, go here.
Prologue: A series that showcases the large statues, beautiful temples and churches I visit in my travels or I accidentally come across while taking an off-beaten path. And sometimes yes, I would include buildings and palaces too.
Been thinking of going to this temple during every visit to India in past few years. Finally got to visit Shri Jagannath Temple in my home town which was built in 2009. It is a replica of original Jagannath Temple of Puri (Odisha) in context of design. It is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Shiva, Ganesha and Hanuman. I love the beautiful architecture of the temple.
The temple is surrounded by sculptures depicting stories from mythology.
