Jagannath Temple, Bokaro

Bokaro's Jagannath Temple is a beautiful white temple in Sector 4, and it is one of those places where the calm atmosphere makes you want to stay a little longer. The temple is inspired by the famous Jagannath Temple of Puri and houses Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra. There are also smaller shrines within the temple complex, along with a large pond that adds a peaceful touch to the surroundings. The real festive energy comes during Rath Yatra, when the deities are taken out on a beautifully decorated chariot and thousands of devotees gather to participate in the procession. The tradition has been celebrated in Bokaro since 2001, with the yatra travelling from the Sector 4 temple towards the Ram Mandir in Sector 1.
