 I've been to Shri Jagannath Temple twice so far and its about 2,500 sq. yards beautiful and very well maintained temple located on Road 12 -Banjara Hills, @ Hyderabad , Telangana State in India built  in 2009  by the Kalinga Cultural Trust, a charitable trust established promoting Odisha culture and local Odia community. Jagan meaning "Universe or World". Nath meaning "Lord, Protector, Master". Jagannath means " Lord/ Master/ Protector of the Universe/World". Jagannath is an abstract representation of Shri Krishna and an avatar or incarnation of Lord Vishnu also known as Narayana is one of the principal deities of Hinduism.  Jagannatha is worshipped in Hinduism in India and neighboring countries as part of a trinity along with his older brother Balabhadra (also known as Balarama) and their younger sister Devi Subhadra which are  carved out of Neem wood . There are other shrines inside the temple dedicated to Devi Lakshmi, Lord Shiva,
