The Abode of Lord Jagannath

MINI SHRINES AROUND THE SRI MANDIR

There are nearly as many as one hundred mini-shrines inside the compound. Among them, Kasi Viswanath on the southern side of the outer enclosure attracts many devotees. Sada bhuja Gouranga, Barabhai Hanuman, Narasimha, Rameswara Mahadev, Dwarakanath, Badarinath, Lokanath, Barabai, Sitala, Kanchi Ganesh, Pataleshwar, Dadhi Vamana, and Navagrahas deserve special mention. Devotees join their palms as the guide narrates many special features of each, moving from comer to corner.
