The temple is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Great Living Chola Temples | Thanjavur , Tamil Nadu , India | Jagannath Temple , Puri | 216 | 1174 C.E | The Jagannath Temple in Puri is a famous Hindu temple dedicated to Jagannath ( Vishnu ) and located in the coastal town of Puri in the state of Orissa , India .

As it rises to a height of 182 feet ( 55 m ) and is shorter than the Thanjavur tower with larger plinth , it is often described as the feminine counterpart of the Thanjavur temple . The Vimana is flanked on either side by small temples ; the one in the north now housing the Goddess is fairly well preserved . The small shrine of Chandikesvara is near the steps in the north . In the north-east are a shire housing Durga , a well called lion-well ( simhakeni ) with a lion figure guarding its steps and a late mandapa housing the office . Nandi is in the east facing the main shrine . In the same direction is the ruined gopura , the entrance tower .
