Jagannath Temple (Koraput)

Jagannath Temple (Koraput)

Sri Jagannath temple at Koraput, Orissa is popularly known as Sabarasrikhetra, is not only built as an altar for worship, but also as a multipurpose centre of Jagannath consciousness. Jagannath consciousness is the main theme of Jagannath which can not be confined within the limits of a traditional religious theological order, a cult or even a philosophical system. It is originated from the tribal culture and it has no antagonism towards any religion, caste or creed, and it makes ground ready for practice of tolerance in the real life of the individual and the society wedded to this ideal. This is practised at Sabarasrikhetra in letter and spirit. Every body has free access to this shrine which virtually demonstrates the very concept of Jagannath consciousness having tribal bias.
