Jagannath Temple

Jagannath Temple in Puri operates a 5.6-meter-high kitchen feeding 2,000 priests daily with 56 offerings cooked in 752 clay pots, a scale larger than the Golden Temple's langar in terms of daily meal variety. The temple's 214-meter perimeter encloses a 120-foot-high main structure with a flag changed twice daily. The wooden chariot for Lord Jagannath stands 45 feet tall requiring 4,000 pullers, 15% taller than the average temple chariot in India. Its non-Hindu entry restriction since 1901 makes it unique among listed sites.
