Jagannath Puri India

Here is a clear and natural English (USA) translation of your text: --- Considered one of the most important temples on the eastern coast of India, Jagannatha Puri is a Hindu temple located in the state of Odisha. Built in honor of Jagannatha, one of the avatars of the god Vishnu, Jagannatha Puri was commissioned by King Anantavarman Chodaganga and is today one of the most significant Hindu temples due to its Vaishnava traditions. It is the epicenter of the annual Ratha Yatra, a famous festival featuring chariots carrying three different deities. Jagannatha Puri also honors Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the founder of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, who lived in Puri for a time. The temple complex covers up to 37,000 square meters and is surrounded by a massive wall known as the Meghanada Pacheri. Inside, visitors will find up to 120 temples and altars, overflowing with sculptural richness, organized around four main structures: the Deula, which houses the Throne of Pearls; the front porch known as the Mukhshala; the Nata Mandir, a dance hall; and the Bhoga Mandapa, the dining hall.
