The Jagannath Temple in Bokaro is a notable modern temple inspired by the famous shrine at Puri. With its tall, white shikhara and clean, open courtyard, it stands out among residential sectors and is visible from a distance. Devotees gather for regular aartis and especially during Rath Yatra, when the chariot procession attracts large crowds.
About this place
History & highlights
The temple was built in the late 20th century as part of Bokaro’s growing social and religious infrastructure, largely supported by local communities and employees of the steel plant. Modelled on the Puri temple’s style, it serves both Odia migrants and the wider Hindu population. Its Rath Yatra has become a major city festival, blending traditional Jagannath worship with the identity of a modern industrial township.
