Jagannath temple : Hyderabad Inaguration
Finally its complete, after a long wait we odiyas have our very own Jagannath temple here at Hyderabad. The construction of the temple started back in 2006 and is now ready. The inaguration is scheduled through Mar 5 – Mar 8th. The venue is of course the new temple at Banjara hills, right next to the Hyderabad Kalinga Samaj building.
The last time I went to the temple was in Oct ‘08, spoke to couple of Kalinga Samaj guys and the local priest and found some interesting info about the temple. Expert stone carvers have been have been brought from Orissa who would carve out idols of gods and goddesses from sand stone. These sand stone blocks have also been brought from Orissa. However, the idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, made of margosa wood, would be specially brought from Orissa. Interiors of the ‘Viman’ would be adorned with a theme based on the ‘Rath Yatra.’
I will be going there this Saturday or Sunday with some of my old time ‘odiya’ friends and a special non-odiya friend who is eager to visit the temple. Will also uploaded some pics of the new temple after the visit.

very good start. Timely and informative. I wish all the success in your endeavour.
Its good that we are spreading “Jagganath Sanskruti”, and making people one. A temple of Jaga in Hyderabad is gives the feeling of Puri, in Hyderabad.
I really appreciate the job.
Spectacular and magnificent this temple is. It’s another wonder on earth. Long live you supreme devotees of Lord Jagannath. Hats of to all the people who effort brought in this divine mountain on earth.
Jaya Jagannath.

first, congratulation on your team effort to bring our Oriya culture in this southern region of India. in fact, i have not visited the recent inaugurated temple, but wish to visit on one day. but i am glad that our Oriya people are disseminating our culture outside.
Can anyone who visited the temple mark it in google maps so that we can know where exactly the place is.
Krishna, the new temple has already been marked on google maps, just search for “kalinga samithi, hyderabad”, the temple is right next to it.
First I would like to give a heartily thanks to them who think about it. Its a very good job done by the team. I visited every week to the temple and i feel that i am in orissa at that time. Those are not visited, today is the right time please visit the temple, you will find the peace.
Today I came to know that there is the temple of lord Jagannath here in Hyderabad. I got surprised but one thing i came to know and really became sad (very disgusting) that yesterday CART FESTIVAL (Ratha Yatra) was not organized there.
and also the priest there is not Oriya one or LORD is not getting properly worshiped in the temple according to “ORIYA RITHI NITHI” . ” ABADHA BHOGA LAGUNI MANDIRARE & MUNDIA MARIBAKU ALLOWED NAHIN. KANA EHAKU ORIYA SANSKRUTI KAHIBA. THIS IS NOT GOOD ATALL, JADI ORIYA DEVADEVINKU ORIYA PUJA BIDHI RE PUJA NAHELA TAHELE PUJA KARIKI LABHAKANA SANSKRUTI NA RE KAHINKI E KALANKA”. IF THE TRUSTIES ARE REALLY IN “SANSKRUTIKA SADBHABA” THEN RATHER BUILDING A TEMPLE EXTRAORDINARILY THEY SHOULD BETTER FOCOUS ON THE “PUJA BIDHI”.
THE TEMPLE SHOULD BE BOUND ACCORDING TO THE RULES OF THE “LORD JAGANNATH PUJA SAMITI” . WHO EVER WILL READ PLEASE DISCUSS ON THIS TOPIC FIRST.
HAVE A NICE TIME
AVINASH
It is a gracious moment for all the odia people & The Lord Jagannath followers to have a magnificent temple in Hyderabad which is some 900 km away from the city of Puri.
I have seen some recent photographs of the temple & soon going to visit that also…Its really a step towards propagating Jagannath Culture..which is most welcome for todays society…
Hi All,
I have a request to the Managing commitee of the Lord Shree Jagannath Temple that all peoples from orissa wants to eat MAHAPRASAD from this Temple, But there is no facility there to get it. Oneday I asked to somebody there on this , he told me like you have to order before 25 days. How we know afeter 25 days will be going to the Temple. So I am kindly request to all the members of the Managing committe please keep a ANANDA BAZAR there atleast on saturday and sunday so that every persons would be know about the Supreme Power of Lord Jagannath Mahaprasad.
Thanks,
Amarendra
Hi Avinash, I am agree with you. The Lord Jagannath is not only for Oriya’s . He is the Supreme power of Universe. I respect your views on Puja Bidhi. I really fully agree with you that they are not doing ABADHA there. Ama jaga pakhaku gale samasta nkara gotia asha ABADHA khaibaku…..kintu abadha pain kichi bi byabaasta nahi sethare. Really this temple is very beutiful.
May be kichi problem thiba sethi pain Abadha hoiparuni……
I visited this temple.. I must say its one of the most beautiful temple in hyderabad. Its new, so all the sanctity is maintained. Irrespective of being on a busy road, the place is extremely peaceful and is full of spiritual aura….
I am not Oriya… and who i am shouldn’t really matter as long as I am respecting Lord. Lets get beyond the communal differences and adore the fact that everyone can find peace and tranquility in this temple. I am very happy for the team who made this temple happen. I extend my full support to such activities from them in future.
I pray to lord .. help us to protect the sanity and peace of this place. Give everyone the wisdom to keep this place clean and pure as it is today….
