Shabar Shrikhetra

Shabar Shrikhetra is a Jagannath temple located in Koraput. The builders constructed the temple at an altitude of about 2,900 feet above sea level and followed the architectural style of the Puri Shrimandir. Lord Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra, and Sudarshan are worshipped here, and all major festivals celebrated at the Puri temple are also observed at this shrine. The temple is closely connected to tribal culture and promotes equality and harmony. It welcomes people of all religions, castes, and communities, reflecting the true spirit of Jagannath consciousness. The tribal museum at the lower part of the temple complex exhibits the culture and traditions of the local tribal communities, making Shabar Shrikhetra both a spiritual and cultural centre.
