'''Jagannath Temple''' in [[Ranchi]], is a 17th-century temple dedicated to [[Lord Jagannath]]. It was built by king of Barkagarh Jagannathpur Thakur [[Ani Nath Shahdeo]], in 1691. Completed on December 25, 1691,<ref name=jharkhandsamachar>{{cite news|title=Jagannath Temple (Ranchi)|url=http://jharkhandsamachar.com/tourism/religeous-places/jagannath-temple-ranchi/|access-date=7 March 2012|newspaper=Jharkhand Samachar|date=20 May 2010}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/ranchi/400-stalls-to-offer-rich-fare-at-Rath-Mela/articleshow/48108610.cms|title=400 stalls to offer rich fare at Rath Mela|website=The Times of India}}</ref> it is located about 10&nbsp;km from the main town.

Similar to the famous [[Jagannath Temple, Puri|Jagannath Temple]] in [[Puri]], [[Odisha]], this temple is built in the same architectural style, although smaller. And similar to the [[Rath Yatra]] in Puri, an annual fair cum rath yatra is held at this temple in the month of ''[[Aashaadha]]'', attracting thousands of tribal and non-tribal devotees<ref name=envis/> not only from Ranchi but also from neighbouring villages and towns and is celebrated with much pomp and vigor.<ref name=mustindia/><ref name=rediff/><br />
<br />
The temple has been built on a hill top. To reach the top visitors can climb the stairs or take the vehicle route. There are many steps and the climber needs to rest intermittently before resuming. People also take the vehicle route leading directly to the top . To facilitate the arduous climb to the top the management of the temple have made provisions for fresh water and the shade of a huge tree that many tourists generally make use of once they reach the top. The view of the city from the top is breathtaking.<ref name=hoparound>{{cite web|title=About Jagannath Temple|url=http://www.hoparoundindia.com/jharkhand/ranchi-attractions/jagannath-temple.aspx|work=Home > Jharkhand > Ranchi > Ranchi Attractions|access-date=7 March 2012}}</ref><br />

The temple collapsed on 6 August 1990. With the active participation of the then State Government of Bihar, and some devoted patrons the reconstruction of the temple started on 8 February 1992 and has now been fully restored. The temple has regained back its former glory. And devotees and ardent worshippers make a beeline to the temple every year.<ref name=rediff>{{cite web|title=Jagannath Temple, Ranchi|url=http://pages.rediff.com/jagannath-temple--ranchi/538882|publisher=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=7 March 2012}}</ref><br />
