Shree Gundicha Temple

Gundicha Temple is located in the religiously rich city of Puri in Odisha. This holy city is quite famous for being home to the Lord Jagannath Temple or locally called Shree Mandira. The Gundicha Temple lies at the end of the Bada Danda or Grand Road (the road that connects Lord Jagannath Temple and Gundicha Temple). This temple is popularly recognized as the aunt’s house of Lord Jagannath. It is also called the Garden House of Jagannath.

During the nine-day festival of Rath Yatra (Chariot Festival), the idols of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Subhadra Devi are taken in chariots from Shree Mandira to the Gundicha Temple. This journey is also known as Gundicha Yatra or Ghosha Yatra.
