Jagannath Temple (Koraput)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sri Jagannath temple at Koraput(Orissa) is popularly known as Sabarasrikhetra,is not only built as an alter for worship,but also as a multipurpose centre of Jagannath consciosness.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 sustem. 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 practicised at SABARA SRIKHETRA in letter and spirit.Every body has free acces to this shrine which virtually demonstrates the very concept of Jagannath consciousness having tribal bias.
