Jagannath Temple (Sabara Srikhetra)

Koraput, Koraput

About this place

Sabara Srikhetra (Tribal Srikhetra) represents a distinctive tribal interpretation of the sacred Jagannath Temple, built by Koraput's indigenous Sabara (tribal) community to honor Lord Jagannath while maintaining their cultural identity and egalitarian worship traditions.

Why it matters

Tribal Sabara Srikhetra; egalitarian worship (no caste/religion restrictions); 1000+ years tribal Jagannath evolution; tribal-Hindu syncretic tradition

Ancient (tribal Jagannath tradition predates Puri temple; current structure medieval) · Kalinga (contemporary renovation retaining traditional form)
