The Jagannath Temple, Puri, the principal shrine of Lord Jagannath and one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites in India

The List of Jagannath temples outside Puri includes Hindu temples dedicated to Jagannath, a form of Vishnu worshipped mostly in Odisha. The Jagannath Temple, Puri is still the most important shrine and a major place for pilgrims to visit.[1] However, there are now many other temples in India and other countries that are dedicated to Jagannath.[2][3]

Many of these temples are connected to Odia diaspora communities and hold ceremonies like the yearly Ratha Yatra.[4]
