The Jagannath Temple in Ranchi, India, is a significant religious site dedicated to Lord Jagannath, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Built in 1691 by King Thakur Ani Nath Shahdeo, the temple exhibits a striking resemblance to the renowned Jagannath Temple in Puri, Odisha. It is perched on a hilltop, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding area. The temple is not only a place of worship but also a center for cultural and social activities. The annual Rath Yatra, a chariot festival, is a major event attracting devotees from far and wide.
