Celebrate Spirituality and Culture at the Oldest Jagannath Temple in Jhilmil New Delhi
The Jagannath Mandir in Jhilmil boasts a stunning architecture complete with intricate carvings and beautiful wall paintings known as Patta Chitra. The temple is a two-story structure, with the ground floor dedicated to the worship of Goddess Mausi Maa. In front of the sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor is a spacious hall that adds to the temple’s grandeur. This hall becomes a hub of activity during Rath Yatra and other cultural events throughout the year. On the first floor, the main sanctum sanctorum houses Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, Goddess Subhadra, and Sudarshan. The climb to the first floor provides devotees with a panoramic view, similar to that of the Shri Jagannath Temple in Puri (Baisi Pahacha). The temple grounds also feature a flower garden dedicated to Lord Jagannath (Shri Jagannath pushp vaatika) and a kitchen (Paak Shaala).
