    I am giving 1 star just because of pandit who are there and forcing money from devotees. He demanded 50 rs from us just because we wanted to offer coconut inside the temple. I straight away denied and went inside. Pandit followed me and forcefully took coconut from me and after breaking thrown out water on shivling. He took carry bag, Banana and thrown all inside temple only just beside shivling.. very shocking he didn't throw banana cover and carry bag, milk used bag in dust pot. Very bad condition of temple because of such pandit. Back side of shivling lot of old bilva Patra and it was smelling badly.... No doubt it's lord Shiva holy place but 0% maintenance by temple trustee. May Lord Shiva give them some knowledge πŸ™πŸ₯Ί

    Recently I had visited this place and seen that daitaries rudely behave to the devotees and tourists and the daities demand highly charge of money to the devotees and force them to pay they are worse than beggars.they don't have self-respect.they spoil my trip. Government should take strict action against them. I don't know why temple authority don't take any action against this type of greedy daitaris..they just make the spiritual place negative....

    Located 1.5 km from Jagannath Temple, Puri, Loknath Temple is a major tourist attraction of Odisha. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and has been since a long time. The existence of this temple has been made in the old tales on Indian mythology and have often been linked to Lord Ram who had made a stop in Puri and wished to meet Lord Shiva. This temple witnesses a huge crowd of pilgrims who fly from all over the world to have a glimpse of Lord Loknath and a huge number of crowd is visible during Maha Shivratri. The strong belief of getting rid of all the problem one is facing and attaining salvation is what has been the crowd attracting factor of this temple. People who still find aid here believe that Loknath Temple is a place where one can find that true serendipity and peace of mind. The temple has always seen a huge crowd all the year but that has never stopped a single pilgrim from getting a glimpse of the lingam.

    The principal attraction of Puri, a coastal town in Odisha ,India, is the Jagannath Temple,famous for Chariot Festival . It is an important pilgrimage center for the Hindus. Pilgrims / tourists from all over the world thronged here throughout the year not only for the Jagannath Temple, but for the golden sandy sea beach also. There are lot things to do in Puri. Other shrines worth seeing include Gundicha, Loknath, Sonar Gouranga, Siddha Bakul, Radhakanta Math, Chakrathirtha etc. The temple of Shree Loknath is situated just 2.5km to the west of Lord Jagannath Temple of Puri. You will get regular buses either from Rly way station or from Swargadwar frequently to visit the temple. You will get down at the last stop to reach there by a short walking. Shree Lokanath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, a reputed Shaiva Peeth in Odisha. The architecture of the temple is Odisha tradition with four parts as Vimna ( the main temple), Jagmohan ( entrance hall ), Natamandir ( the dancing hall) & the Bhogmandapa ( offering hall). The outer walls are are housed with the images of Shiva Parvati, Lord Kartikeya, Lord Ganesha, The innermost chamber of the temple houses a Shiva Linga, the presiding deity. This lingam can only be viewed only once in a year as it is under water throughout the year by a natural fountain. Only 3 days before the Shivaratri festival, the water is drained out & the lingam is visible. This time thousands of devotees assembled there to worship the deity. Lord Loknath is closely linked with the temple of Lord Jagannath as He is the guardian deity of the Ratnabhandara ( treasure house ) in Puri temple, is associated with several festivals in Jagannath temple. Legend- A popular legend goes as- This temple was founded by Lord Ramchandra , who on his way to Sri Lanka in search of Sita, his wife, eloped by Ravana, Lord Ramchandra vowed that he shall meet Shiva there . At that time the local native of the place , the Shavars, presented Ramchandra, a lau or a Lauka ( Pumkin, a kind of vegetable) looking like a Shiva Lingam. Lord Ramchandra installed that as a replica of shiva linga there & started to pray Shiva so that he can fulfill his desire. From that day the Shiva Lingam was called Laukanath that became known as Loknath in course of time. The temple premises are about 10ft down the road level. You are to climb the stairs to reach the temple.compound.When you enter the temple compound by climbing down the stairs, you will find a pond called β€œ Parvati Sagar”in your right side. You are to wash your hands & feet in this pond before entering the temple. You will also find a lot of fish waiting for food from you. You will also come across cows loitering in the temple compound & they are very obstinate until & unless you provide bananas to them & then they let you go. The added attraction on the way to the temple is the light house on the way near the sea. You can get down from bus & enjoy the ascent to the light house.Only the Hindus are allowed to enter.

    Temple in puri dedicated to Lord Shiva. Mobile phones not allowed and there is a locker outside. There is a holy pond within the premises. Blissful temple but be careful from pundits demanding money for performing rituals forcefully

    Loknath ji or loukishwara was settled by Sri ram himself before the conquest to Lanka And loknath ji is considered to be the guardian of Sri jagannath ji Ratna bhandar(treasure store) It is considered that the jewels and ornaments insides are not ordinary. And till date anyone who have tried to trespass inside ratna bhandar due to any reason with any motive have faced The wrath of loknath ji's mythical serpents since centuries.
