The Jagannath Temple was built in the 12th century AD, with construction beginning around 1078 CE. The temple has stood for nearly 1000 years, making the 12th century AD correct.

Chodaganga Deva, the Eastern Ganga ruler, started the construction of Jagannath Temple around 1078 CE. He was the founder who began this monumental project.

Anangabhima Deva completed the Jagannath Temple construction that was begun by Chodaganga Deva. The temple was finished in the 12th century under his rule.

The Jagannath Temple at Puri has four main entrances facing different directions. The Singhadwara (Lion Gate) is the primary entrance used by most pilgrims and devotees.

Singhadwara, also known as the Lion Gate, is the main entrance to the Jagannath Temple. It faces the Grand Road (Bad Danda) and is the most important of the four entrances, used by the majority of devotees.

Bad Danda, meaning 'Grand Road', is the sacred pathway leading directly to the Jagannath Temple's main entrance. This wide road is used during the famous Rath Yatra festival when the deities travel to the Gundicha Temple.

Patita Pabana, meaning 'savior of the fallen', is the sacred flag that flies atop the Jagannath Temple. The flag is changed daily in a ceremony where a priest climbs the temple walls, symbolizing the temple's role in offering redemption to all.

Baisi Pahacha, meaning 'twenty-two steps', is the sacred flight of steps leading into the Jagannath Temple. Devotees believe that climbing these steps with devotion earns spiritual merit and brings them closer to the divine.
