There's no description of Badadanda or the Grand road. It is also called the divine Lap of Mahaprabhu shree Jagganath swami. On Ratha jatra lakhs and lakhs of devotees swarm in this badadanda. There's a divine pleasure to walk on it.

At Puri, Shri Jagannath Mahaprabhu welcomes you to his ancient shrine with the melodious sound of hymns and mantras, the playing of conches and drums and the perfume of flowers and incense.

The Jagannath Temple, also called Shrimandir, is at the heart of the town of Puri. It stands on the grand avenue called Bada Danda and is at the centre of the spiritual and daily life of this tirtha. The temple with the tall soaring shikhara has a huge chakra and a flag flying on top and from the sea it is visible from far away. The festival processions like the Rath Yatra all take place on the Bada Danda. Within the temple precinct there are many smaller shrines dedicated to various deities, pavilions, gardens and sacred tanks.

The temple is a gigantic enterprise and it employs over six thousand priests from thirty six clans. The religious rituals and festivals are unique to Puri as there is the involvement of not just Brahmin priests but also members of the Sabar tribal community called the Daitapatis who continue to create and maintain the images.

The administration of the temple was organised eight hundred years ago by King Anangabhima Deva of the Ganga dynasty who donated treasures in gold and also gave land to pay for its upkeep. Even today the king of Puri is considered to be the premier servant or sevak of Lord Jagannath and his presence is required to begin the Rath Yatra.

An enigmatic experience with soulful touch, the guguni pani at BadaDanda is the best you can get anywhere.

A local cuisine, hot and sour and light and healthy with Jagannath temple in the horizon experience the taste of the guguni pani (dried peas soaked in water) the tangy taste with umami flavour will surely leave it's footprint in your mind or rather in your belly.
If you can try visiting during winter or early monsoon (during Ratha Jatra or Deva Deepavali) the weather will make you fall in love with the place, the energy of the crowd energies you and the calmness of the temple calms your soul.

It is surely an sublime and magical place

Shree Jagannath temple holds a lot of unfolded mystery which is yet to be resolved. The grand road (Bada Danda) one out of these. Each and every year this road witness the great Cart festival. It holds lots of shops iconic monuments.
