Spiritual gatherings in Puri

Puri, on the Bay of Bengal, is home to the Jagannath Temple and one of the four Char Dham, the great pilgrimage seats of Hinduism. Each year its Rath Yatra brings Lord Jagannath out onto the streets in enormous chariots pulled by devotees.

The sacred life of Puri

Why it’s sacred

Jagannath — a form of Krishna — is worshipped here with his siblings Balabhadra and Subhadra, and the temple’s shared sacred food, the mahaprasad, is central to devotion. Adi Shankara’s Govardhan Math, one of his four seats, is in Puri.

Questions about practising in Puri

Do I need to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Rooms have limited capacity and the free evenings often fill faster than the paid ones, because nothing is risked by registering.
I've never been to anything like this — is that okay?
Look for the first-timer mark. Every listing that carries it has answered the questions a newcomer is afraid to ask. Plenty in Puri are made for a first visit.
What if the price is the obstacle?
Many gatherings here are free, and some facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Puri. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
No — some gatherings are held online, and each listing names its format and, for online ones, the time zone.
