Here, the most spectacular part of Orissan culture, cult and
comic faith is the Jagannath Dhaam or Purusottam Puri, upholding
the centuries old tradition and religious faith, still bright
and waxing. It attracts people from far and wide known as a
Dhaam or Tirtha to the Hindus, famous as the abode of Lord
Jagannath literally meaning, the Lord of the Universe.
